Coyote Connections is this weekend
The C of I is hosting the first Coyote Connections event Saturday, Jan. 12 from 9:30 a.m. to
2:30 p.m. in the Langroise foyer.
Coyote Connections is an opportunity for C of I juniors and seniors to meet alumni from different job fields and learn about the skills they will need when they leave college, whether they are entering grad school or the job market.
Approximately 75 alumni and nearly 150 students have signed up to participate. Several career fields will be represented including arts, business, communication, education, environment and science, healthcare, government and public policy, law, nonprofit and public service.
The day includes workshops, panel discussions, and humorous skits. Alumni will participate in panel discussions about their job fields and what students can do now to prepare for grad school or a job. Following the panel discussions, an informal luncheon will mix alumni with students who are interested in their job field.
