We would like to encourage anyone that would like to speak about their experiences within their career or profession. If you are interested in volunteering as a virtual panel speaker, please complete the following Google form Virtual Career Fair Form  by Friday, April 9th, 2021 at 4:00pm.

In the Google Form there is a step by step YouTube video explaining how to get started with your ZOOM account and how to schedule a meeting.  

Panel speakers will be hosting 20-25 minute sessions starting at 12:30pm with a 5-10 minute break in between sessions. The sessions will start at the following times: 12:30pm, 1:00pm, 1:30pm, 2:00pm, and 2:30pm. To help panel speakers prepare for their sessions, the following are questions you can consider preparing for and answering, Panel Speaker Career Questions.
