The Results
The Impact of Knowledge Bowl and Symposium:
- Accepted a Personal Financial Counselor position with Magellan Financial following Symposium networking

“Through Symposium, I found my first job out of college! Without Symposium, I am not sure I would have been able to find a job in what I love, financial counseling. And now I have that and a new adventure living in Alaska, too! If you are looking to for opportunities to seize, the symposium is a great place to be.”
