Confident at Commencement: Real Talk About Life After K

“So… what are you doing after graduation?”

You’ve probably been asked some version of this more than once. The answer looks different for everyone and it doesn’t always feel clear. Sure, some seniors have already completed the College’s First Destination Survey with a clear next step. A job lined up. A graduate program. A plan that feels solid.

Others are still figuring it out. Deciding between options. Waiting to hear back. Or realizing that the path isn’t as straightforward as they expected.

That’s where Confident at Commencement comes in. It’s a weekly series designed to give you a clearer picture of what life after K can actually look like. Each session brings alumni back to talk through things people often wish they had understood earlier: how to approach a job search, how to evaluate an offer, how money actually works at the start, and how to make decisions when nothing feels completely certain.

Wednesdays, 2:45–4:00 PM

You’ll hear from alumni who were recently in your shoes, along with those a bit further along in their careers. They’ll share what worked, what didn’t, and what they wish they had known.

Open to all (geared towards seniors).
You don’t have to attend every session. You don’t have to have a plan. Just come to the ones that feel relevant (here’s the full speaker lineup) and see what you take away.
