Welcome UB students and alumni mentors to the International Virtual Career Conversations. This is a student-alumni networking opportunity that is designed to connect experienced UB alumni living abroad with current UB students and recent graduates who are interested in launching their careers, finding internships, or connecting with a career mentor internationally.

We encourage you to make connections, share information, and enjoy the opportunity to meet other members of the UB family!  (Please note:  the alumni may or may not be here to represent their companies for jobs/internships, as this is not a job fair)

Chat rooms are officially open for a half hour for each region, however, conversations can certainly continue and the rooms will not close while the event is running.  The event, however, will end at 10:00 a.m. EST. 

IMPORTANT: WHEN YOU LOG IN, PLEASE DISREGARD THE UPLOAD RESUME MESSAGE.  You do NOT have to upload a resume into this system since this event is not a fair, but a virtual career conversation.  

Alumni volunteers for the event are below.  More will be added soon!
