Events and Programs
The Office of Academic Programs sponsors a series of events and programs in order to
help alumni of the BGC with job placement. Workshops are offered on resume writing, part-time
employment opportunities, career days, and work/life seminars to prepare students for job searches.
Events are open only to BGC students, alumni, and staff (when there are places available).
Students, alumni, and staff must RSVP for all events.
