Regis Juniors Connect With Alumni for Career Day

Regis juniors on Tuesday attended our annual Career Day, which offered them the opportunity to speak with alumni working in a range of industries. Nineteen alumni returned to 84th Street to serve on panels and answer questions. 

Chris Mignano ’17, a lead engineer for the aerospace engineering firm Inoveering, opened the event with a keynote address on the importance of being open to new opportunities and using the foundations of gratitude and generosity to guide your passions.

“If you take anything away from this talk, it should be this: Make the most of your time, find your reasons why, build up a strong network, and always remember to give thanks and to give back,” said Mignano. “Over my professional life, this is what has brought me the most success.” 

During his time at Inoveering, Mignano helped develop a summer program for high school students to gain experience in the aerospace engineering field. Several Regis students have participated in the program in recent years.
