Join CareerWell for an opportunity to learn from local leaders about academic administration careers. Carolina graduate students will get the opportunity to request the leader they'd prefer to dine with, and over a catered lunch, our esteemed guests will work with student attendees on collaborative problem-solving prompts. Suggested attire is business casual. This event will begin promptly at noon, and we appreciate your punctuality.

All registrants for this event will receive an email enabling them to priority rank tables they would like to sit at. Failure to respond to this follow-up email by the confirmation deadline will result in us assigning you to a table of our choice. While we expect this event to reach capacity quickly, we will do our best to accommodate students on the waitlist with a seat.

Lisa Chapman (Ed.D. Curriculum & Instruction); President at Central Carolina Community College

Melissa Bostrom (PhD in English); Senior Assistant Dean for Graduate Student Professional Development at Duke University
