The Institute’s Fall 2024 Civic Series begins with an interactive workshop: “Work That Matters.” The panel and following networking event highlight jobs centered on the public good. The panel of Cal State LA alumni will represent careers in government, non-profits, journalism, advocacy, policy, education, and the environment. The panelists will provide first-hand experience in finding careers with meaning and purpose. After the panel, students will be guided through a series of power sessions with the professionals. This in-person event is an opportunity for students to connect with peers, local leaders, and community members.
* Refreshments will be provided.
