Join us for the first event planned and hosted by McAuley’s Young Professionals Board!
McAuley’s “Lifetime Advantage” extends well beyond graduation and our Young Professionals Board is creating opportunities for alumnae to connect across generations and industries, share their experiences, and support one another through every stage of their professional lives.
This evening will feature a panel conversation with four McAuley alumnae who have taken different paths in their careers. Panelists will share their experiences navigating career changes, new opportunities, and unexpected turns — offering insight and encouragement for anyone thinking about “what is next.”
