Hello Cambridge College Students,
This week the School of Undergraduate Studies is holding its annual Spring Major Night. This event is an opportunity to learn more about your major, explore other programs you may be interested in, receive career guidance, and meet with professors, alumni, and fellow students. Most importantly, we invited a panel of recent CC graduates, who will share their experiences of connecting their major to their career plans. If you are interested in this event, come join us on Wednesday, March 22, from 5:00-7:30 p.m. (ET) via Zoom. Stop by anytime and click here to register >>.
For everyone who has been missing opportunities to connect with students and staff in person, the Office of Student Affairs will be hosting an informal Spring Gathering on Thursday, March 23, 2023 from 4:00-6:00 p.m. in the town common at our Charlestown campus. Everyone is welcome!
