ONA will host a virtual Career Day from 12–3 p.m. EDT, the day before ONA21 begins. This event will feature opportunities both for career conversations in group settings and more personal one-on-one overviews, in addition to a limited number of programming sessions around career development. Job, higher ed and fellowship opportunity seekers are welcome to attend at no cost and do not need to also be registered for ONA21. More details on how to get involved.
