Careers in the Nonprofit Sector Speaker Series
Our Careers in the Nonprofit Sector Speaker Series is held each spring and fall to provide students with an insider's look at what it is like to work in the nonprofit world. Nonprofit professionals share insights and anecdotes from their own careers and answer any questions students may have about life and work in a nonprofit. The Spring 2021 Speaker Series flyer provides an overview of all three sessions scheduled for this March.
The series began with a discussion on the opportunities and challenges of working in Arts Management, and the qualities and skills that will help prepare you to work in that field. Anne Katz, Executive Director of Arts Wisconsin, and Nathan Burkart, Executive Director of the Janesville Performing Arts Center, shared their wisdom and experience with us on March 10, and Megan Matthews, Senior Lecturer in the College of Business and Economics, served as moderator and also contributed her knowledge of Arts Management to the discussion.
