Our 2025 Career Day is scheduled for November 21.
Every year, the department hosts Career Day, providing you an opportunity to meet and network with alumni and explore career pathways in preparation for an internship or full-time job search.
Why You Should Attend Career Day
- Networking can help you get your foot in the door and pay dividends in the future. An introduction today can lay the groundwork for a job tomorrow.
- Talking with our alumni, who are professionals in the field, can help steer you toward the path that's right for you. This is beneficial for students of all grade levels, not just seniors!

- Develop a potential list of places that interest you for internships.
Alumni Encouraged to Participate
We couldn't do this program without the involvement of our engaged alumni. They are truly at the heart of this program. Regardless of your degree and field of work (EAE, geology, geography and meteorology), we invite you to share your expertise and professional insight with our current students. Your advice/input is an invaluable asset to our students as they complete their studies and embark on their new journey in our diverse fields of study.
