The pandemic has changed almost every aspect of life, especially in the economic and career landscapes. People are thinking about their professional choices with a new lens to ensure they select careers that offer what they may believe to be a stable and secure future. Some may wonder if a degree in the social sciences, arts, and/or humanities will give them this security.
Join us for the CAHSS Spring Spotlight Virtual Event on Wednesday, April 14 from 4:30–5:30 p.m. for this timely conversation featuring CAHSS-affiliated faculty who will share their thoughts on why having or pursuing a degree in these areas is still so important. The panel will feature:
