Cost: $9.45 (adults); $6.55 (kids 6-12); free (children 5 and under) 

How does it work?

Think speed dating meets networking event! Each professional will host a table with seven to eight students. For 10 minutes, you'll share about your career journey, as well as tips and advice you wish you knew as a college student. Then, students will ask lots of questions. Every 10 minutes you'll get a new group of students for a total of six rotations. For 20 minutes at the end, students will have the chance to connect with you in a traditional mixer-type format.

So what's the goal?

For students to be inspired and encouraged by your story, and to walk away with some good information and insights

Lunch is provided for participants.
