This year’s ACS Athens Career Day was spearheaded by the ACS Athens Center for Student Success and ACS Athens Global, in collaboration with an organizing committee of professionals who ensured that the event would prove to be an extraordinary success. Resonating deeply with students; it was designed to inspire with a glimpse into professional options they can consider. 

While Seniors benefited from the Alumni Insights Session in the morning, the afternoon provided a platform for Juniors to gain invaluable insights and guidance from seasoned professionals representing diverse fields such as science, technology, entertainment, and business.
