CAREER, FAMILY, OR
As a college woman, you are
now faced with a decision that
few of your mothers had to deal
with — career or family or
both? It is a hard decision;
and if you choose to pursue a
career, more questions arise
such as: What jobs are open to
you? Where do you begin?What
background do you need? How
far can you go?
To help you with these and
other questions, the Division of
Student Affairs at North Caro
lina State University offers you
the opportunity to participate in
a Women’s Career Awareness
Symposium on Wednesday, No
vember 15, 1972, at 7:00 p.m.
in the University student Cen
ter. Married and single women
who have “made it” will be a-
vailable to answer your ques
tions and share their exper
iences with you. We think you
will find it worthwhile.
