CALCC, March 24-26, 2021

The JMU College of Arts and Letters Career Conference, Liberal Arts on the Working World: Insights from Alumni, features JMU alumni from all CAL majors discussing the wide range of career opportunities available to graduates with a liberal arts degree. The event occurs biennially in the spring; the first two conferences (2017 and 2019) brought together as many as 300 students, 70 Faculty, and 50 Alumni.

This year’s multi-day, virtual Zoom conference features three kinds of events: Informational Panels with Q&A, Interactive Alumni-Student Workshops, and Keynote Speakers. JMU students of any major may participate in as many or as few events as they wish. Attendance is free but requires advance registration using a JMU email address.

Together these events highlight the value of a liberal arts education. The College of Arts and Letters prizes its alumni and recognizes their particular qualification to facilitate student success. The conference provides an opportunity to cultivate and strengthen relationships among alumni, current students, and CAL faculty and staff.
