CFCG Options include:

Careers for the Common Good Dinners

Held at least six times a year (October/November, January/February and April/May), Common Good dinners help highlight opportunities where one can find values-driven work in the not-for-profit, public and private sectors.  These student facilitated dinners feature two guests who meet with a dozen students over dinner to discuss their career paths.  Dinner topics to date have  included:

Specialty Blitzes
