Career Bootcamp is the brainchild of Stamps Alums Sara Radin and Shifra Whiteman. They were then joined by alum Courtney Graham. This annual event attracts students from all levels at the Stamps School.

During the Covid Pandemic, Career Bootcamp went virtual BUT we are back in person for Fall 2022!!!

Career Bootcamp participants learn the ins and outs of networking, interview skills, freelancing and more! Most importantly, Career Bootcamp is designed to give current students a chance to connect with alums, learn from their experiences, and to cultivate a professional network.
