EVENTS JUST FOR GRAD STUDENTS

Two-Part Values Identification & Clarification Workshop
Planning your career? Choosing between job offers? Getting a life? This interactive workshop series
will help you discover, clarify, and apply your life and work values; explore aspects of your
success, development, and work-life balance; and find congruence between your goals and values.
Space is limited, so participants must be currently enrolled UW-Seattle graduate students and are
asked to commit to attending both parts of the workshop. Co-facilitated by the Counseling Center &
Career Center.

invited to come listen to employer representatives discuss tips for landing interesting positions in
large corporations, small businesses, non-profit organizations, government agencies, and
