THE BRUIN EDGE - Week One

Hello Everyone,

Happy Fall Quarter! Thanks for subscribing to this career and professional development resource from Partnership UCLA / Alumni Career Programs.

Know someone who could use this resource? Forward them this email. They can sign up here.
 

Alumni Spotlight

Rosie O'Neill '00, M.B.A. '05, is the co-founder and chief creative officer of Sugarfina, a luxury candy boutique that's now the fastest-growing confections brand on the planet. Learn more about Rosie here, and hear what she has to say about being an introverted entrepreneur. 

Professional Tip

Remember, even people like your T.A.s and professors can be part of your professional network. Attending office hours is an opportunity to ask them about their career path or any connections they have in the field you want to go into. Stop by office hours this week!
