"Day in the Life" - Student Session

Hey students! Come learn about environmental careers and what a day in the life looks like. You'll have the opportunity to ask professionals in the fields questions about how they got hired, what types of experiences they have, and things they wish they knew while still in school. It'll be a great opportunity to make connections, hear about different careers, and ask lots of questions.
