The event includes several small-group break-out sessions led by alumni. A2A is a great place to develop your networking skills—all of the alumni attending are friendly and want to help students succeed.

A2A is a friendly atmosphere to explore your career goals and discover interesting career directions. You don’t need all the answers—this is where you start finding them.</li> <li>Bring an open mind—explore a variety of career fields. You never know who you will meet or where their network might take you. You may be surprised to learn about doors to careers you never knew existed.</li> <li>Dress well, but prioritize attendance. Attending is more important than attire, but it certainly wouldn’t hurt to dress to impress (business casual).</li> <li>Follow-up with the alumni you meet as well as those you do not. Alumni will enjoy hearing from you. Connect on LinkedIn and/or send an email to say thank you, ask further questions, request a resume review or inquire about a job or internship. </li> </ol> <p><strong>Students</strong> - For career advising, contact Kate Juhl at <a href="mailto:kjuhl@umd.edu">kjuhl@umd.edu</a><br /> <strong>Alumni</strong> - For information and involvement, contact Greg Schofer at <a href="mailto:gschofer@umd.edu">gschofer@umd.edu</a></p> <p>See below for the 2024 list of alumni participants. 2025 participants will be posted in the spring of 2025.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="section--padded-small"> <div class="wrapper--ks"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--accordion paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="silc-grid silc-grid--no-gutters silc-grid--collapse"> <div class="silc-grid__col silc-grid__col--10-medium"> <h3 class="header__h3 header--margin-bottom">2024 Alumni Participants</h3> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--accordion paragraph--view-mode--default silc-accordion" id="accordion-4376" > <section class="silc-accordion__section" id="silc-accordion-40431"> <header class="silc-accordion__header"> <h2 class="silc-accordion__label">Session 1: Tuesday, April 9 • IN-PERSON</h2> </header> <div class="silc-accordion__content"> <ul> <li>Kraig Ahalt — History and Criminal Justice — US Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia, Attorney</li> <li>Manique Buckmon — Art History — Art Works Now, Senior Director of Programs</li> <li>Billy Cannon — M.F.A.
