Learn about tools to help you:

– Discover your career purpose

– Manage imposter syndrome

– Assess your strengths

– Build skills

– Grow your network and support system

This event is a collaboration between the First-Gen Graduate Student Advisory Board, Core Programs—Office of Graduate Student Affairs in The Graduate School, and Career & Internship Center (Seattle campus).
