- Career Conversations Schedule: Sundays, 6:30-7:30 pm, Undergraduate Library (Career Cluster, Upper Level)
- Guided conversations on career topics moderated by Career Information Specialist, Jeni Weidenbenner. Topics will be posted here a week in advance. Questions can be emailed to Jeni in advance at wednbnnr(at)uiuc(dot)edu, asked during discussion, or participants can simply sit and listen and email questions afterwards. Handouts will sometimes be available during discussions. When available, they will be posted here within a week following the discussion.
- If you have a suggestion for a topic you'd like to see covered, please email Jeni. If you have questions about Career Conversations, please feel free to contact Jeni for more information.

For more in-depth resource questions or career explorations, we may refer you to The Career Center during regular hours for a 45-minute appointment with a counselor. First come, first served.
