Thanks to all of Unit 5 members who filled in our professional development survey last month! We all know the woes of job searching and the difficulties of putting ourselves out there to employers.

When: Monday, 20 August, 5-6 PM (Workshop), 6-7 PM (Social)
Where: GSU Pub, 2nd floor, 16 Bancroft Ave
