Kevorkian Center Alumni Professional Development Event

Please join us for another Kevorkian Center Alumni Professional Development Event. This event is open to current NYU students and recent alumni. We will be joined at this event by alumni from the Kevorkian Center’s Masters in Near Eastern Studies program who have gone on to become lawyers, and are practicing in fields such as immigration, labor, and international law. The speakers will offer a few thoughts on their career trajectory, and there will be ample time for discussion, questions, and networking.
