The Dream Share Project- A Career Event for Students
Thursday, September 13, 2012 • 07:00PM - 08:30PM
Location: Hoff Theater, Stamp Student Union

RSVP:  www.Careers.umd.edu/DreamShare

The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers, but above all, the world needs dreamers who do! What’s your dream?

The University Career Center & The President's Promise is proud to host The Dream Share Project, co-sponsored by the Stamp and Pepsi. This inspiring project includes a documentary film, which features two recent college graduates (one is actually an UMD alumna) on a road trip across America, as they explore how successful people have chased their dreams. The film screening and workshop will assist students who are exploring how one’s interests and dreams can translate into an awe inspiring career. All undergraduate students are welcome to attend the screening, especially students actively deciding on a major or career field.

A funding opportunity for student organizations is available. Learn more at www.Careers.umd.edu/DreamShare
