Careers in French: Panel on 2nd Languages

Over 50 student participants interacted with a panel of professionals who have intersected their language proficiencies into their chosen career paths and emphasized the value a second language brings to the hiring process.
Serve, Teach, Lead: Careers with Impact
Career Planning & Development Center staff Marcia (Marcie) Schumert, Trezette Dixon, Julie McHugh and John Link worked collaboratively with Olivia Potter, Webster University student and president of the History, Politics, and International Relations Club, to coordinate a career panel made up of professionals who have made service an integral part of the work they do for our communities.
