Young Professionals Panels (YPPs)

Drawing inspiration from our hugely successful online offerings in 2021, we are pleased to once again offer our Young Professionals Panels series. These panels are designed to help you see how your MUN experience can help you move ahead with your career. You can join one (or all) of our panels to ask our panel of LIMUN alumni for advice on pursuing your career in different areas of the working world! We hope that these events will give our community the unique experience to engage with young professionals and network with them directly, and will hopefully offer some insight and inspiration into potential career paths. These panels will take place during the weekend of 19-20th February on Zoom.

Our events will be capped to 100 people, and therefore we ask that you sign up using the sign-up forms linked below. All of the necessary links, Zoom meeting IDs, and passwords will be emailed to you a day before the event.
