Monday, February 16
5-6pm CST
Virtual on Handshake
Hosted by the College of Liberal Arts
Open to ALL CEHD undergraduate and graduate students.
Do you have a passion for education but can’t envision yourself in a traditional classroom setting? There’s more to education than just teaching in K-12! From curriculum design to educational technology to policy advocacy and community development, the opportunities to work with people of all ages and to make an impact in the field of education go on and on.
During this panel, you’ll hear from professionals working in a wide variety of education-adjacent roles to learn about their career journeys and discover new paths you might not have considered for yourself.
Panelists:
● Dayana Lopez-Martinez | People and Culture Generalist at Minnesota Children's Museum
● Max Knowlton | Senior Account Manager at Zen Educate
● Nora Guerin | Career & College Center Coordinator at Edison High School
● Nina Cha | Program Manager at Genesys Works Twin Cities
● Tanya Misgen | Stronger Connections Specialist at the Minnesota Department of Education

The University of Minnesota campuses were built on the traditional homelands of the Dakota and Ojibwe, and scores of other Indigenous peoples who have walked on these lands from time immemorial. It is important to acknowledge the peoples on whose land we live, learn, and work as we seek to improve and strengthen our relations with our tribal nations. We also acknowledge that words are not enough. We must ensure that our institution provides support, resources, and programs that increase access to all aspects of higher education for our American Indian students, staff, faculty, and community members.
