August: "Pathways to NYC" Open House

Who is this event for?:

This event is designed for all college and graduate students, recent grads, and anyone else interested in professional opportunities in New York City. We want to introduce you to the people, companies, and other aspects of NYC and area that make this a great place to live and work.

What do I get for my registration fee?:

The fee will cover registration, NYC materials (guidebook, etc), the social on Thursday night, and the closing dinner on Friday night.

Is there housing available or will I have to find my own?:

We're also working to arrange as much in the way of free housing with members in NYC as we can. We'll let you know when a limited number of housing slots become available, which will be made first-come, first-served to the people who sign-up earliest.

What will I need to cover out of my own pocket?:

Most people will need to cover housing, in addition to most meals and the flight, plus any other personal expenses you incur.
