Career Coffee Chat Series Kicks Off with Education Alumni
The Career Center will kick off the brand new “Alumni Career Coffee Chat” series with a conversation featuring Truman’s education alumni.
“Making a Difference Through Education” will focus on the ways careers in education extend far beyond the classroom. Three Truman alumni will lead the talk, including; Deborah Knaust (’94), dean of student life and engagement at Franklin University Switzerland; Alison Notter (’16), director of outreach at the Missouri Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development; and Dr. Melanie Hutchinson (’04), director of instructional technology and online learning at Lee’s Summit School District. Attendees will have the chance to hear how each panelist built their career, what their work looks like now and what they have learned along the way.
All Truman students are welcome to attend. This conversation may be especially valuable for students interested in education, student affairs, instructional technology, higher education, workforce development or careers focused on helping people learn and grow.
The virtual talk will take place from 12-1 p.m. Sept. 10, with an in-person viewing party taking place in Violette Hall 1300. Snacks and light refreshments will be provided. Registration is required and can be completed on Handshake. Questions should be directed to Kim Sprought, director of employment development, at ksprought@truman.edu.
