Where Your Career Starts Before Graduation
Most colleges offer career fairs. Very few offer a campus-wide experience where alumni volunteer to spend an afternoon mentoring students, sharing career advice, and helping them explore their future. That’s what makes the Khanna Career Connections Conference a signature Muskingum experience.
