The theme for our 2024 Black Professionals Day is: Strategies for Career Success. Throughout the day, students will attend conference-style engaging professional sessions hosted by Career Services Professionals from each of the colleges. Students will also have the opportunity to meet with various programs during the Resources Fair. The day will conclude with a Fashion Show in collaboration with our Basic Needs Centers. The event will be held at City College, Room MS 140. Each student who attends the entire event will receive a $50 gift card at the end of the event. Lunch and swag will be provided.
