The Patty Disney Center for Life & Work invites students and alumni to join a series of virtual 'fireside chats' with alumni guest speakers about 'Building Your Career'. Topics include facing disillusionment when transitioning out of CalArts, how to approach setbacks and failures, and ultimately, how to build your career. 

Join in for a Q&A with these accomplished alumni artists. Students and alumni can send questions in ahead of time to bcool@calarts.edu or ask questions during the session. All sessions will be recorded for later viewing.
