Get help managing your career development from a Career Management Resources session. These programs are offered throughout each spring and fall term either before class or occasionally on a Saturday morning. Topics covered at these events include networking, resume writing, salary negotiation, using LinkedIn and managing your personal brand.

The week before fall and spring registration, attend a Happy Half Hour networking break on the Minneapolis campus. Pick up information about elective options and talk with advisers about upcoming registration. Refreshments are served.
