From our students:

“The most impactful part of the Career Symposium is meeting and connecting with Saint Mike’s alumni. I’ve found that the most valuable insights about my own career come from talking with people I can relate to—people who see your potential and understand your journey. Connecting with these alumni was not only motivating but also gave me actionable advice that has truly shaped my career path.”

– Margrethe Froland ’25
