"Even as a sophomore I was really able to test the waters and ask people of their experience in the art world. The alumni chosen to represent the various institutions are some of the nicest people and really take pride in helping other BC students advance in their careers. Thanks again!" ~ Kathie Chang '11

Event Description:
Since its inception in 1999, Career Night for the Arts has provided an opportunity for students and alumni to dialogue and develop relationships. Each year over one hundred students join 20-25 BC alumni who have established successful careers as musicians, composers, conductors, photographers, graphics designers, painters, arts editors, producers, directors, stage directors, arts journalists, museum administrators, film editors, writers, actors, instructors, consultants, and arts attorneys. BC students can move around the museum informally talking with alumni from various artistic professions. Students will receive information about the alumni present and can choose who they would like to speak to and move at their own pace in this informal networking environment.
