These coffee hours are informal events for members of the VPA & ECE Career Communities where students can come and go as they like and ask questions about jobs/internships, life, community engagement, and more. Drop by for a few minutes to ask about hiring trends, get some quick resume feedback, hear about job search resources, share your COVID-19 self care tips with other community members, and/or simply enjoy some conversation and BYO coffee/tea.
