Tuck's Work/Life Symposium
Can you have a successful career and still have time for family, friends, community service, and the many other aspects of a satisfying life? Since 1999, Tuck students have put a spotlight on the question by hosting Tuck's annual Work/Life Symposium—one of the school's largest student-run events.
Watch a video about the making of the 2004 conference, titled "Getting Real Success." Students discuss how they accomplished a myriad of tasks—from landing corporate sponsors to assembling panels to launching a website—and what they got from the experience of participating.
