This program will provide residents with the opportunity to have free professional headshots taken in a welcoming and accessible environment (their own dorm!). During the event, residents will be able to drop in and have several photos taken against a simple, professional backdrop. Students will be encouraged to use their new headshots for LinkedIn, Handshake, internship and job applications, research opportunities, academic profiles, and other professional or academic purposes. In addition to taking headshots, the program will promote conversations about professional identity and preparing for future academic and career opportunities. Residents can interact with one another while waiting for their photos, creating a casual community-building environment alongside the professional development component. After the event, photos will be distributed digitally to participants.
