Career Events
Your career path is long. Take the time to explore. Attending talks and workshops is a great way to think about your path: how to find and navigate it, and how to thrive on it.
The Role of a Chief of Staff
What exactly is a Chief of Staff anyway? Why do the people doing it love it so much? Why might you want to consider it? Join MS&E alumni Monica Shen Knotts and Samuel Beskind, as they delve into the details of what they do and how it's impactful, and share their insights about how to find, gain, and excel in these roles.
Open to the entire SU community: current students, alumni, staff and faculty.
Building Your Professional Image
One of the secrets to career advancement is a strong professional image. How you conduct yourself, how you communicate, your etiquette at business meals - it all impacts how people view you, and whether you're seen as hirable and promotable. MS&E alumna Meera Clark has had a meteoric career path – from graduation to Partner in 10 years - and will be sharing her thoughts on all this and more.

Professional Headshots
Your headshot is a key component of your LinkedIn profile page, your 'on the team' page at your future career, and talk descriptions for conference appearances. Make it the best it can be. Sign up into a 15 minute window during this event to have your headshot taken by a professional. This spring session will produce photos with a very 'Stanford' background.
This opportunity is open only to students within the MS&E department (ie, declared undergraduates, matriculated graduate students). An email will be sent to the student lists with details about how and when to sign up for a slot.
