Professional Development Workshops

Throughout PREP, you will participate in a series of professional development workshops designed to help you identify your passion, develop a compelling resume, practice some networking skills, and create a professional action plan! These workshops are exclusively for PREP students, and you'll get to work closely with our Director of Student Programs, Marvin Lopez, who has decades of experience in the engineering and corporate worlds. All of these workshops will take place in room 290 Hearst Memorial Mining Building on campus.
