Group picture from a previous Life AFTER TUJ event
Join us for the first-ever Life After TUJ WEEK! Life After TUJ is an annual event where we invite alumni to talk to current students about their careers after graduating from TUJ. This year, we will have 5 separate events throughout the week of Feb 14th, grouped into general industry areas that tend to be popular among TUJ students.
The events will be casual and allow plenty of time for Q&A. In addition to alumni working in Japan, we have panelists in France, Israel, Taiwan, and the US!
If you have any questions, please email the Career Development Offce
