UHD's Humanities and Social Sciences departments are collaborating on an event that aims to prepare their students for successful transitions into the workforce.

"Careers for Liberal Arts Majors" is a practical workshop designed to help history, English, philosophy, art and humanities students develop career plans before graduation. The workshop, scheduled from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 7, in room 1099-N, will feature three guest speakers who majored in these fields and went on to have successful careers in business, the nonprofit sector and education.

Speakers include:

• Thomas Fischer, who has a doctorate in philosophy and a background in consultative sales and employment services,
• Jimmy Mai, who has a background in theater and English and is the founder and artistic director of the Midnight Theatre Company, and
• Marlen Rodriguez, who holds a bachelor's in English and a master's in Spanish and now works for Girls Scouts of San Jacinto Council.

Liberal arts majors from all disciplines are invited and refreshments will be served.
