Where should I look for internships? What classes should I be taking? How do I get involved on campus?

This is your opportunity to ask all these questions and more! Conquering College is a program focused on connecting first year Gemstone students with successful Gemstone juniors and seniors who can offer advice about how to get through college and make the most of it.

Date: Saturday, March 7th, 2009
Time: 10:45 am to 3:15 pm
Location: Cambridge Community Center

There will be workshops on:

  • Leadership
  • Academics
  • Grad schools
  • Standardized testing
  • Interviewing and networking
  • Getting that dream internship
  • Having fun in college/getting to know DC
  • Resume workshop

All the sections will be segmented depending on your major and we have a wide variety of panelists who will speak to you. This is a great opportunity to meet people who have connections on campus, know of professors who need students to research, can find you on or off-campus jobs, etc. Absolutely all questions will be answered! Please remember to bring a current resume, if you have one, to
participate in the Resume Workshop!

Sponsored by the Gemstone Student Council, talk to your representatives for more details (or any of us). Extra credit will be offered in GEMS102, an extra 5 points (or 1%).
