The Design Careers Club held our 2021 Virtual Alumni Fridays during Spring Quarter 2021. Starting Friday, May 7th, we hosted three alumni day events every Friday. We invited various UC Davis Design alumni from different Design fields to discuss their profession and allow students to engage and ask questions.
From 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM on Fridays to hear UC Davis alumni share their experience transitioning into a workplace, participate in Q&A panels and breakout sessions, and more!
A brief introduction and presentation from the Design Careers Club board
A 20-minute panel discussion where each alumni will introduce themselves and answer some questions about their career journey and industry
20-minute rotating breakout sessions in small groups where you will be able to meet each alumni, hear about their work, ask questions, get feedback on your resume/portfolio, and gain valuable connections
If you have an interest in the tech, creative agency, or nonprofit industry, come learn about alumni’s experience in their careers and ask your questions!
This event is free to all students! Take advantage of these connections and alumni’s time taken to share their experience.
