Guest panelists on stage and audience.

Life After TUJ is a week-long discussion panel series where we invite TUJ alumni to share their career journeys with an audience of current students: What are they doing now? How did they get there? What advice do they have for current students? We’ll have 5 panels throughout the week, each with a different group of alumni representing a theme or industry. Attend as many panels as you like to meet diverse alumni and discover what you can do with a TUJ degree.
