Career Networking

The Career Network is a program sponsored and funded by the Bryn Mawr Alumnae Association with significant help from the College and the Bryn Mawr-Haverford Career Development Office (CDO).

The Career Network's goal is to provide a wide array of services such as industry panel discussions, networking receptions, and individual career counseling. Some of the events offered this past year include student-alumnae networking receptions in several cities, gatherings of professionals at local luncheons and at national meetings, and a playgroup for children and Mawrter Moms in Boston.
