    Join us and the Alpha Kappa Psi business fraternity at the University of Portland for a panel discussion on the different pathways you can use to get into tech.

    You’ll be surprised to learn, the path is not as straight-forward as it may seem! We’ll hear from a few folks that have navigated this journey from where they started to the tips and tricks they used to make the change.

    Stacy Croft, Sr. Program Manager, Transfr
