BLACK EMERGENCY MANAGERS ASSOCIATION INTERNATIONAL: VIRTUAL Veterans Networking Event. University of Maryland. Thursday, Oct. 15th, 2020

It's time for our next Veterans Networking Event, and this time we are going virtual! Our community is strong and growing! Join us as we kick off the evening with an introduction from the UMD Career Center as they discuss issues, concerns, and strategies when going on the job market during the pandemic. Then, we will move through breakout rooms for some of those smaller discussions that

make these events so meaningful. If you haven't been to one yet, now is the time. Grab some food and a drink. Put on your comfy pajama pants. Talk to some people. Have a great time. If we never take time, we will never have time. Current Student Veterans, Alumni, Campus Partners, Employers, Veterans, and Veteran Supporters are all welcome. Please share.

If you are a current student veteran, this is your chance to meet other veterans working in your desired industry and employers from various companies, agencies, and departments. Find out information from recent alumni on the steps they took to get that first or second position following graduation. Practice your personal story and figure out your professional persona in a supportive environment.

If you are a veteran alum of UMD, come and support current student veterans and make connections that will support your next step.

If you represent a company, agency, or organization that is looking to recruit veterans, come out and meet our current and former student veterans here at UMD! Meet and speak with veterans in a relaxed, comfortable environment that promotes genuine discussions.

If you are UMD Faculty or Staff, we want you here, too! Get to know our student veterans here at UMD. You just might meet your next student hire for your department or get your next research assistant!

No matter what, you will be supporting our student veterans. Come network with us as we work to build the bonds that support successful transitions.
