The First Year Out: Faking It, Figuring It Out, and What No One Tells You

Join recent CALS alumni for a candid conversation about what really happens after graduation. From first jobs and unexpected career turns to imposter syndrome, workplace culture, and selecting and applying to graduate or professional programs, this panel will share the lessons they wish they had known before leaving campus.
This is not a polished success-story panel. It is an honest look at the transition from college to the real world, designed to help students feel more prepared, more confident, and a little less alone about what comes next.

CALS CPR Training
Friday, October 30
1 pm – 5 pm
Many healthcare jobs require CPR/Basic Life Support (BLS) training, and this course knocks it out for free, right on campus.
CALS Career Services is offering American Heart Association BLS certification, the credential tailored to healthcare professions, at no cost to CALS students. Sessions are small (10 students each), hands-on, and led by a certified instructor from BadgerEMS.
Note:
- This session is open to CALS students only.
- If you are looking for general CPR certification for non-professional reasons, this course is different, and we recommend you obtain that credential through another source, such as RecWell or UWPD.
- Please only sign up for ONE session.
If this session fills up, don't worry: we're running three sessions this semester. Check Handshake for the other dates and to register. Spots fill on a first-come, first-served basis. Check our main events page for additional dates, which will be updated as they are added: https://wisc.joinhandshake.com/events/1988617/share_preview
