The Next Chapter: Change, connection, and resilience

Careers rarely follow a predictable path. Professional growth involves unexpected opportunities, difficult decisions, changing industries, and periods of uncertainty. Navigating those moments requires more than technical expertise — it requires adaptability, confidence, and strong professional relationships.

Join your Vancouver alumni community for an evening of candid conversation, practical insight, and meaningful connection as we share the advice and tools you need for professional growth. Through a moderated panel discussion, our featured alumni and notable Vancouverites will share honest perspectives on career decisions, professional change, mentorship and the relationships that have shaped their paths.

Designed especially with young and recent alumni in mind while welcoming alumni at every career stage, this event will offer practical ideas and opportunities to build stronger connections across Vancouver’s Queen’s community.

• Hear candid stories about career transitions, setbacks, and non-linear professional paths.
• Gain practical perspectives on making important career decisions.
• Explore how professionals can remain adaptable as industries and technologies evolve.
• Learn how mentorship and professional relationships can create new opportunities.
• Meet Queen’s alumni working across Vancouver’s diverse industries.
