AROUND THE QUADSDean’s Day Adds Career Planning Track to Faculty Lectures SessionsDean’s Day, which offers alumni and parents a chance to be a “student for a day” by attending lectures by some of Columbia’s best and most popular professors, is scheduled for Saturday, April 9, from 9 a.m.–5 p.m. on the Morningside campus. This popular event, which is free for students, includes a continental breakfast with an opening address by Dean Austin Quigley, a morning lecture, a luncheon, two afternoon lectures and a closing reception. New this year, in addition to a full schedule of professors speaking on their areas of expertise, are two lectures that focus on career education. A morning lecture, “Career Choice and Developmental Theories,” will be given by Kavita Sharma, director of undergraduate career development at Columbia. This lecture is designed to help individuals make more informed choices about their career goals and find career opportunities that correlate to their objectives. In the afternoon, Laura Hoffman, director of employer and alumni relations, and Richard Kurz, director of graduate student career development, will speak on “Globalization and Your Career: What Do You Need to Know?” This lecture will examine definitions of globalization, its multifaceted influence on careers and how a deeper understanding of it can better prepare individuals to make career decisions. If you cannot make it to New York, you may be able to enjoy a similar event in your metro area via College Day, whereby the Alumni Office brings the professors to you. Events are held in several areas across the country. Scheduled for the spring are San Francisco, March 12, and Los Angeles, March 13. For further information on Dean’s Day and College Days, or to register, please refer to the mailings sent by the Alumni Office or visit www.college.columbia.edu/alumni/events.
