On Tuesday, 9 April, the Department of Geography will hold a careers event in the Rocque Laboratory for final year geography and master's students. We're looking for geography alumni to come along and share their career experiences with these students from 4-5pm. If you're interested, please contact us by Friday, 5 April at alumni.events@mu.ie.
This event will involve a presentation and break-out groups covering various career strands, depending on the attendees on the day. Alumni will just be asked to share how their geography degree contributes to the work they do now and to give general advice on how to develop a career in that field.
