While parents’ instinct is typically to help guide their children toward the right major selection and career path, they often don’t know how. By when should your student have made these decisions? What steps should they be taking in the interim? How much room should you give them?

Parents, tune in, and invite your children to listen to this webcast featuring Mark Presnell, executive director of Career Advancement at Northwestern University, for help navigating the exciting — yet sometimes overwhelming — journey toward finding the right career.

In addition to answering questions, Mark covered the following and more:
