Many English majors struggle to imagine prospective career “homes” apart from teaching and writing. Our panelists will discuss careers for which English majors are well-prepared in the nonprofit sector, in development, in museums, and in the corporate world. Convention attendees will have an opportunity to learn about the paths these panelists have taken from a Liberal Arts degree to their current profession and will see that many career paths allow them to remain committed to those things they love about the English major: learning, reading, and community.
The Minnesota Historical Society Tour
Lisa Williamson will be leading a tour of The Minnesota Historical Society on Friday afternoon, March 4, from 3-5 (do note that you will have to miss both the E (2:30) and F (4:00) concurrent sessions on Friday afternoon if you choose to do the tour). We will meet in the lobby at 2:15 to depart at 2:30 (or earlier, if we are all together). We will be traveling by the light rail system and walking a short distance from there (about 4 blocks). There is only room for 20 on the tour, but if you are not in the top 20 and wish to go, please meet us anyway, and if anyone doesn’t show up, you can join the group. If not, you can still attend the session at 2:30.
