Career Discovery Week traces back to the early 1990s and the pioneering work of a small group of academic advisers and career counselors on the Seattle campus. Today, this annual event has evolved into a tri-campus career and educational extravaganza that extends from mid-January to mid-February and encompasses more than 140 sessions. More than 300 UW alumni and friends volunteer as session speakers, panelists, networkers and facilitators.

Career Discovery Week is produced by the UW Alumni Association and the UW Career Center in conjunction with dozens of campus partners.
