HPRC Career camp!
This week, the HPRC is offering a Summer 2021 Career Camp. They designed this event after hearing a number of graduating seniors say that they were waiting until classes ended to plan their next steps, ad they’re offering a series of short sessions designed to help get our newest alumns started on the job search.
The material is, however, relevant to students at all stages of their education, and they invite any interested humanities students to take part, regardless of their year.
Students can sign up here.
