Campus to Career is a virtual networking experience designed to help you explore real career paths and connect with Buckeyes who’ve been where you are now. If the word “networking” makes you feel nervous, you’re not alone. That’s exactly why this event is built to be relaxed, welcoming, and low‑pressure. You don’t need a polished résumé, a perfect plan, or any special experience — just curiosity. Hosted on Zoom, Campus to Career brings together current students and CFAES alumni in breakout rooms organized by industry and major. It’s an easy way to meet professionals in your field, hear honest advice, and discover the many directions a CFAES degree can take you — all in a supportive environment where you can participate as much or as little as you’re comfortable with.
