Hi folks! Our first lecture will be an introduction to the course. We'll be discussing how this course connects to your path through college, your ideas about a future career, and the current world of work during a global pandemic of COVID.

This lecture will be delivered live on Zoom at https://uwmadison.zoom.us/my/gdowney at 5:40pm central time on Tuesday, March 23.

The lecture recording will be made available here 24 hours after the lecture concludes.

In the lecture I invite students to engage in course-wide text discussion of how the pandemic affects different careers. Here's a text discussion board for just that: How a pandemic like COVID-19 affects different careers

Supplemental videos

I would also suggest that all students watch three short videos in addition to lecture: Two introductions to our L&S career center, called SuccessWorks, and a bit of advice about professionalism from an L&S alum. (These are only about 10 minutes total.)

Introducing SuccessWorks (00:02:14)

What is SuccessWorks? (March, 2019 - 00:03:24). Hear from our Student Staff members about what SuccessWorks means to them and why you should come in for a visit (or even just for the free coffee and hot chocolate).

L&S Alumni Recommendations: Professionalism (00:05:41)
