The Wade Fellows Pre-Professional Series provides opportunities for students to learn practical, widely applicable skills that will ease their transition from the campus to the workplace. At these events, students interact with and learn from alumni, as well get “insider’s tips” from people for whom and with whom they may work in the future. Thanks to the alumni’s familiarity with both the college and the professional world, these sessions are tailored to the needs of Amherst students seeking to enter and thrive in the workplace.
