PCCW Evaluation

PCCW Alumnae—Student Events

The President's Council of Cornell Women (PCCW) consists of approximately 300 Cornell alumnae who are appointed by the President of the University. Members have achieved a high level of success in their career or avocational activities, and have a commitment to strengthening the experience of women affiliated with Cornell as well as to involving more alumnae in Cornell activities.

Each spring, PCCW offers an on-campus forum for students to meet members and to discuss career-related issues and life after Cornell. The goal is to introduce a diverse group of undergraduates to the benefits of meeting Cornell alumnae in a variety of career fields (not to find job opportunities!).

The following event will be co-sponsored by Cornell Career Services:

PCCW Alumnae—Student Luncheon

Saturday, March 7, 12:00—2:00 pm
Open to junior and senior women

Expect lively discussions with groups of alumnae and other students over lunch and dessert, on topics such as balancing time for work and family, conducting a job search in a new city, when/if to attend graduate school, taking a "gap year," negotiating salaries, the cost of living and managing expenses, and the myths and realities of the "glass ceiling" and the "Mommy Track."

Space is limited to approximately 100 students, so register early! Online registrations will be accepted through March 2, 2009. Priority will be given to students who have not yet participated in a PCCW luncheon or Senior-Junior Women's event. Previous participants will be accepted on a space-available basis.

Students confirmed to attend the luncheon will receive an email message shortly before the event. That email will include further details, including location and tips on preparing for the discussion. Dress is business casual.
