DePaul’s second annual Career Week offered a series of career–related activities and seminars for experienced adults, those in transition, and those looking for change. The focus was on helping participants:

DISCOVER how to effectively transition into a new career or field. Learn strategies to launch or ADVANCE your career. Make connections that will help you BECOME the leader you want to be.
