Meet Our Alumni! Penn Engineering Online students have access to comprehensive career services throughout their time in the program — and beyond. Whether you want to launch a new career or expand the possibilities of your current role, our dedicated Professional Development team can help you reach your goals. In this webinar, participants heard directly from some of our Penn Engineering Online alumni who shared insights into their professional journeys — the background they came from, where they are now and how they got there. Participants were also joined by Emily Parry, our Associate Director of Professional Development and Networking. Emily discussed the many resources available to our students and alumni, including virtual career advising, skills development opportunities, networking, virtual career fairs, employer site visits and more.

This event was a part of our COLLABORATIVE COMMUNITY Webinar Series. Throughout the month of March, we hosted one webinar each week to highlight various facets of our interactive, international online community. At Penn Engineering, learning online doesn’t mean learning alone. This webinar series provides prospective students with an inside look at our vibrant community and our collaborative, supportive approach to online learning. Each week, participants had the opportunity to meet a new group of community members to learn more about the online student experience here at Penn Engineering.
