For our second event, we invite you to join us for an evening of dinner, leadership, and encouragement with our keynote speaker Jeff Kaufman, followed by mentoring circles with our mentor professionals from the Bozeman community as you think about your transition from college to career.

Our career planning model works no matter where you are in the career planning process.
