A panel discussion entitled “How to Dig Out of a Career Rut” will begin at 6 PM. Alumni will discuss their Great Valley experience, how returning to school provided them with the knowledge and tools to elevate their careers, and the value hiring managers see in advanced education. 

Light refreshments will be provided, and all attendees will receive a $65 application fee waiver. As an added bonus, attendees will also receive free registration for the Fundamentals of Project Management Workshop on Oct. 18 from 9  AM to 1 PM.
