Career Exploration Week:
A Dynamic Opportunity for Incoming First-Year Students
Meet new classmates and immerse yourself in a career field that interests you during Career Exploration Week, a series of four-day programs held in a variety of locations and industries. Offered by UChicago’s Office of Career Advancement in the weeks leading up to Orientation, these programs give students the opportunity to visit employers in their field of interest, connect with alumni mentors, and make new friends.
The days were packed full of fun and learning. This experience has inspired me and helped me understand more about the field I am interested in.
