Making Decisions for 2012…and 2022

Monday, April 30th at 7:00 pm CT

Today's college students are graduating with record student loan debt and it can be hard to make decisions that benefit you and not just Sallie Mae. We're going to talk about our fears, break them down, and help you be responsible now, while considering the long-term impact of the decisions you make. 

The Opportunities Project is offering a special, FREE video conference series for college students and recent graduates called The Graduation Project. Tracy Brisson, Founder and CEO of The Opportunities Project, and our social media intern, Lauren Wannermayer (Syracuse 2012) will host each webinar and give their insight on our selected topics based on their experience coaching, hiring, and looking for a job. This is the third of three webinars in the series.
