What are common good careers?

This Wednesday, February 1 at 6:30 pm in Cohen Auditorium, Tufts Career Services and The Leonard Carmichael Society will host Careers in the Common Good: A Night of Networking.But what are common good careers? While there is no singular definition, for the purposes of this event we are using the term to refer to all work that has a shared and beneficial value for all (or most) members of a community. This term does not apply exclusively to non-profit work, but also includes for-profit, private, and public sector jobs that bring value to the community (of course, value is subjective).

Interested? Unsure? Want to learn more? Come network with alumni working a wide range of values-driven career fields and learn about why a career in the common good might be the right path for you.

The evening starts at 6:30 with a short keynote address by James Weinberg A00, Founder and CEO of Commongood Careers. Afterwards, join more than 30 alums for networking and small group discussion. Alumni will be present from the following industries and career areas: education; consulting; environmental; health care; public health; human services; legal; and philanthropy.
