Junior Class Board: Coffee Conversations, Wednesday, October 20th, 7:00-8:30PM EST
The Junior Class Board is hosting a networking opportunity between you and NYU Alumni as we look ahead to graduation and post-grad life. Bring your questions and curiosity for our alumni panel. Who will be attending? We have collected a diverse group of NYU alumni with and without post-grad education. The JCB aims to offer insight, advice, and illumination of career paths less exclusive than highly distinguished jobs in competitive fields. At Coffee Conversations, you’ll have the ability to interact with those in job fields that require post-grad study (such as Lawyers and Medical Professionals) as well as those that reap the benefits of 9-5 type jobs within the government, non-profits, and scientific research. This event will be held in Heights Lounge at the Silver Center.

Senior Class Board: Care Kits for Kids + Blood Drive, Thursday, October 28th, 11:00AM-3:00PM EST
The purpose of this event is to foster the spirit of community service and give back to those in disadvantaged situations. Given that we all have had a rough year this event encourages students or faculty members to donate blood or for students to design spooky Halloween treat bags for kids in the hospital. Students will have the opportunity to choose which form of community service they would like to participate in. The event will be separated into three sections. The first section will consist of an adequate setup area for the phlebotomists to perform their tasks. Secondly, the other section will have all the materials needed for the students to make the Halloween bags, and tables will be set up so they can do so. Lastly, there will be a small area for students to grab a refreshment or a snack during the event. The event will be held in Silverstein Hall at the Silver Center
