In this webinar former sociology students will share how a degree in sociology shaped their career path and how sociological principles are employed in their positions on a daily basis. The presenters include three young professionals who began their careers with a BA in sociology.  Sushama Rajapaksa, a research associate and Alexis Mesko, a probation officer, are both featured in the booklet "21st Century Careers with an Undergraduate Degree in Sociology, 2nd Edition.” David Deloach, a surgical consultant at an ophthalmology practice in Orlando, is a recent graduate of the University of Central Florida. Their comments and advice to sociology students will be supplemented by Dr. Mary Senter, Professor of Sociology at Central Michigan University, who will be presenting national data about sociology majors and their career trajectories. In addition, Professor Senter will suggest ways in which students can use information from the surveys to assist them in their job search efforts. There will be ample time reserved for Q&A

We encourage you to bring students together as a group for viewing. Last year we held a similar webinar and some departments chose to either gather in a computer lab (each registering individually), or participate in more of a classroom setting using one computer, a projector and a speakerphone.
