Finding Your Pathway.” The well-attended program began with an engaging panel discussion featuring Bloustein alumni in the workforce.

Anita Franzione, DrPH, Assistant Teaching Professor at the Bloustein School, moderated the program.
The discussion provided general advice, tips when considering grad school or other opportunities, and how to find a mentor. It was followed by a ‘Coffee and Conversation’ hour, which gave students additional opportunities to talk with the panelists as well as faculty teaching in the Bloustein School. The event was co-sponsored by the Bloustein School Undergraduate Program and the Office of Student and Academic Services.
