Support JHU Community Impacted by Career Transitions
JHU is launching virtual open networking chats to support students and alumni navigating career transitions, especially in the federal government. This informal program provides honest conversations where guidance, insights, and connections can be shared.
We will host these chats during the off-weeks of our Adapt-Pivot-Persist Series, ensuring attendees get the most out of our offerings. Your experience could be exactly what a fellow alum or current graduate student needs to hear. A few words of advice, a shared connection, or simply offering encouragement can open doors and shape careers in ways you may not even realize.
