The Department of Asian Studies held its annual Careers Night on March 21st, 2016. The event started with a keynote from Canada’s Ambassador to China, Guy Saint-Jacques, titled “Where Asian Studies Fits Into Canada’s Growing Engagement with China”. Next was a panel featuring 4 alumni with over a decade each of experience living and working in Asia. Finally, students rotated among the 12 participating alumni asking questions while enjoying a Korean dinner. The event was well attended by students and the alumni stories were as inspiring as ever. We would like to thank our amazing alumni who participated in this year’s event as well as the volunteers who helped make the event such a success.
