Event Details

Keynote Speaker: Dr. KC Castille

With more than three decades of work experience in the United States Air Force and the human resource field, Dr. Keith "KC" Castille has developed and honed skills in transformational leadership, organizational culture, instructional system design, and workforce education. His mission is to empower each generation of leaders to thrive in a complex and dynamic world.

In his keynote, Dr. Castille will explore leadership, vulnerabilities, perception, and intrinsic motivation. Using an interactive approach, he challenges leaders to "think, act, and do" and to understand the value their growth brings to organizational success.

Get Professional Headshot Portraits

Laura Hatcher Photography will be offering no-cost headshots at the event. Professional headshots are the new calling card. Your online first impression is an important part of your personal branding, career transition, and job search. If you don't have an updated headshot—or if you don't recognize the "you" in your headshot—now is a great time for a new photo.

Sessions begin at 3 p.m.; on-site sign-up is required and is first come, first served.

 

Chat with VSOs and Other Organizations

  • Services & resources: Several VSOs, organizations that offer resources for entrepreneurs, and employers will be on hand to meet with you and answer your questions.
  • On-site workshops: Join us for on-site workshops covering topics such as veterans benefits, specific employers, and more.
  • UMGC departments on-site: UMGC Alumni Services, Career Services and Community College Veterans Military Education Coordinators (CCV-MECs) will also be on-site for this event.
