Even though Tau Beta Pi couldn’t host our Convention in person this year, #TBPUnvention2020 has provided lots of opportunities for networking and professional development. Virtual Unvention events began on October 10 and will continue until November 7.
If you missed an event, check the Unvention site here and see if a session has been uploaded to YouTube, like this Resume Review Workshop with Rachel K. Alexander, CA Upsilon ’15, and Joey W. Alexander, CA Upsilon ’06.
