What is life really like beyond the adobe walls of UNM? With each spring graduation, an annual rite of passage takes place; thousands of college graduates will hit the streets in search of their first "real" job.

This unique professional development conference will provide the tools you need to transition out of The University of New Mexico, build networks and resources, feel connected as a member of the UNM alumni community, and set goals that will ensure your success for years to come.

The University of New Mexico provides many resources and programs designed to develop leadership and personal skills for younger students, but few that focus on the needs of students as they prepare to graduate. This professional conference is an ideal format to attain our objectives:

• To recognize seniors for their academic accomplishments and service to UNM
• To provide an opportunity for students to learn how to transition from The University of New Mexico
• To give students an opportunity for networking and resources
• To provide connection opportunities for students and UNM alumni
• To help students outline specific goals upon graduation

The conference will highlight workshops on career services, financial management, networking, tax preparation, alumni resources, graduate programs, home buying and an etiquette luncheon.

• Mastering Interviewing Skills for the Recent Graduate (Career Services)
• Job Search Strategies (Career Services)
• Developing a Successful Resume for the Recent Graduate (Career Services)
• Graduating with a Financial Plan and Good Credit (NMEFCU)
• Home Buyers Workshop/Mortgage Planning (Paul Chavez/Joshua Christensen)
• Everything you Need to Know About Life After UNM (Young Alumni)
• Considering Graduate School? (Office of Graduate Studies)
• What You Need to NET from WORKING It (TBD)
• Savings, Investing and Organization from College (Joshua Hoisington)
• Preparation for Graduate School (KAPLAN)
• Stress/Time Management (Student Health Center)
• Fitness Nutrition (Student Health Center)
