This year, our employer and alumni panel and networking event included just-graduated alumni all the way to alumni with more than a decade of work experience. Annually, the program holds this panel and reception, which is partly informational for the students, partly networking, and partly a good excuse to get together and break bread. This year’s panel featured alums Aniruddh Duttaa, Anom Dule, Jai Joshi, Luiz Guilherme Vieira, and Mihir Madhekar.

The program also regularly has Associate Director of International Student & Scholar Services Jody Heckman-Bose who walks international students through the ever-changing landscape of working on a student visa, and the opportunities that the STEM-designated MS in Applied Economics offers: namely, three years of work in the United States on a UMD-sponsored visa.
