Calendar of Events

Come and join Drs. Elizabeth Wilson-Anstey and Avelino Amado for a discussion about Weill Cornell Medicine’s application process for both medical and graduate school. This “round-table” style presentation will focus on summer research opportunities, how to prepare for the next steps in your education and how to identify strong and effective mentorship along the way.
Dr. Wilson-Anstey is the Assistant Dean of Diversity and Student Life and the Director of the Travelers Summer Research Fellowship Program for Premedical Students. She has been a part of the Weill Cornell community for over 40 years and serves on the medical school admissions board. Dr. Avelino Amado is the Diversity Program Manager for the graduate school and will be able to discuss the opportunities available to students interested in pursuing a career in biomedical research. Together they will also touch on how Weill Cornell Medicine is working to increase diversity in medical and graduate education.
We hope you’ll attend to learn more. Please note that this session has been conveniently arranged within Keefe so attendees may bring their grab-and-go lunches to it!

What is the Business and Finance Program?
Have you ever wondered what it means to have a career in finance, consulting, general business or entrepreneurship? Whether you are a first-year student, a sophomore or a junior now exploring new opportunities, this is a great way to learn, discover, and decide if finance, consulting, business or entrepreneurship is something you want to pursue.
The Loeb Center offers industry specific initiatives to help students explore and plan for careers in industry-specific areas. The Business and Finance Program was established in 2015 to help students explore and prepare for careers in the financial services industry, consulting, or general business. We are also programming to help those considering starting their own companies, investing in start-ups or just gaining an innovative mindset.
The information session will be led by Stephanie Hockman, the Program Director. She will talk about the career exploration and planning workshops included in the Business and Finance Program, the experiential learning opportunities, and how best to take advantage of student interns and advising appointments. As recruiting for internships and full-time positions start early in business and finance, it is NEVER TOO EARLY to start the exploration process. Don’t miss out this opportunity to hear more about the program how the Loeb Center can help you explore and prepare for careers in finance, consulting, general business and entrepreneurship.
There are multiple opportunities to hear about the Business and Finance Program. You only need to attend one. We hope to see you at one of the following information sessions:
Friday, Oct. 18, 4 p.m., Loeb Center Events Room
Tuesday, Oct. 22, 11 a.m., Loeb Center Events Room
Thursday, Oct. 24, 7:30 p.m., Paino Lecture Hall

Did you know that on average recruitment managers spend 5 to 7 seconds analyzing applications to determine if a candidate should be brought in for an interview? Come learn about the techniques needed to create resumes and cover letters that best markets your unique skills and experiences to land summer internships and future job opportunities. *This workshop will fulfill the Internship Preparation Workshop requirement for the Charles Hamilton Houston Internship Program.*

Are you a creative problem solver with a desire to document, shape and transform culture? Do you wonder if you can really “become” a filmmaker, painter, poet, or performer? From museums and archives, to film and television, to the behind-the-scenes business of artistic practices, careers in the arts are a great fit for those looking to design professional pathways that combine rigor, creativity and curiosity.
Regardless of experience level, you’ll leave this session with an understanding of potential career trajectories, industry timelines for internships and jobs and Loeb Center resources designed to support your search.

Friendly conversations and presentations on ethics, metaphysics, epistemology and other philosophical subjects.
