YP Meetup Session information

Applying for jobs and thinking about career options has always been a challenge for students and recent graduates. Industries shift and evolve over time and it's important that young professionals are prepared for shifts and changes. In this webinar participants will learn how to think about their skills they've developed as students and how those can apply to other job opportunities. Our guest speaker Dr. Christine Carmichael will talk about her interest in forestry and how she's managed to turn that into a business.

This webinar will be live on Wednesday, April 22, 2026 from 2 - 3:15 pm ET.

These sessions are available for any SAF member in good standing under the age of 40.
