°ä“DZō²µ²¹³Ł±šās program, a signature Career Services initiative, opened for student applications on Friday, October 12.
A Day in the Life pairs students with alumni, parents, or friends of Ä¢¹½tv during winter break according to the studentās professional interests. Students shadow their hosts for a day, learning about the range of professional opportunities and making valuable connections with members of the Ä¢¹½tv network.
The programās success is due, in part, to wide and enthusiastic alumni and parent participation, which more than met the needs of the approximately 350 students who came into the program last year.
The number of alumni involved also means that students have a variety of industries and opportunities to explore ā from health, tech, and education to finance, law, and government work.
Hugo Torres-Fetsco ā15, senior associate at Third Bridge, was a participant in the A Day in the Life program as both a student and an alumnus. āItās a great way to network,ā he said. āI spoke with my undergraduates about how to network, whatās going on at Ä¢¹½tv, how to speak with Career Services. Something as simple as getting exposure to an office environment really helps.ā
Keira Beatty ā21, a student participant in last yearās A Day in the Life, agrees. āI had a fantastic time working with Career Services for A Day in the Life.ā Keira said. āThe staff makes sure to aid students in any way possible.ā
The application form for the 2018 Day in the Life program can be accessed , and applications will remain available until Thursday, October 28.
