In our graduate student Industry Roundtables, small groups of students are pre-matched with a discussion leader based on career and industry interests and are given three research/reflection questions in advance to prepare for the roundtable event.
At the roundtable event, discussion leaders – who are drawn from our alumni, recruiters, and other friends of GWSB – facilitate a conversation with their assigned group of students based on the assigned questions. Discussion leaders also share their knowledge, insights and advice about their industry, organization, and career experience.
Please note: To participate in this event, you must register by 12:00 p.m. ET on February 24.
