It's coming January 26-30, 2009. Careers will be discovered with more  
than 150 workshops, panel presentations, networking events and fairs.  
It's the largest event of its kind in the country—literally hundreds  
of UW alumni and friends volunteer to return to all three UW campuses  
and assist their fellow Huskies with career development.

Get all the details at www.careerweek.washington.edu or stop by the  
Center for Career Services, 134 Mary Gates Hall, to pick up a Career  
Discovery Week Program. Mark your calendars now.
