 Kathy, Manager of Staff Recruiting in Human Resources, will be joining us to talk about maximizing RIT’s resources, benefits, and opportunities to professionally develop.

This will be an informal conversation/Q&A event, in which everyone is welcome to bring a lunch and engage in conversation with Kathy about some of the topics below:
- Tuition waiver benefits
- Networking interviews
- Volunteer opportunities
- Club Advisor roles
- Webinars
- CPD classes
- Coop/Career services support for alums
- Shadowing possibilities
Please bring other topics to the table if you wish! If you plan to attend this event, please RSVP here so we can anticipate how many will be in attendance.
