Thursday, November 9
5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Marvin Center 538

Also, for help with personal statements for HPAC, Early Selection, Pre-Health and Public Health programs, please plan ahead and schedule a career coaching appointment sooner than later to secure your appointment/s.  The Center for Career Services is open over winter break and I can work with you virtually if you are not in DC.  Winter break is a great time to work on your application materials (and be sure to take a break, too!). 
Keep in mind that the HPAC application is due January 31, 2018. Please plan accordingly as spring semester begins mid-January. You can schedule appointments now for January and beyond.   
NOTE:  This year, I am unable to accommodate personal statement appointments the week before the HPAC deadline, I have met with you already.

I look forward to our continued work together.
Best wishes, 
Nicole Mintz
