Dear LARIS students,

I hope you’re doing well.

Just a quick email to let you know that we’ve now scheduled the third session of the LARIS Talk Series: From Study to Profession for 22 May, and I wanted to share the details in case you would like to join or share it with your networks.

The LARIS Talk Series is aimed at information studies students (that’s you!), recent graduates, and early-career professionals, with a focus on career development. This third session will explore working across different sectors, with a particular focus on the differences between government and non-government roles. We’ll discuss what day-to-day work looks like, how roles can vary, and what you might consider when choosing your path.

You can find the session information and registration link here<https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/326f50d6-b4a0-4fcd-9e34-2501085a948d@5a740cd7-5768-4d09-ae13-f706b09fa22c>.

Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions, and otherwise I hope to see you there.

Best,

Ellie (on behalf of the LARIS team)
