In the Fall Semester of 2015, the Sociology Club presented at the Pick One Fair for the incoming Freshman Class of 2016, hosted two guest speakers, Professors Jessica Welburn and Mary Noonan, and attended the Psychology/Sociology and Criminology Career Roundtable events. The Sociology Club also hosted an informational presentation about building a professional LinkedIn profile and navigating the LinkedIn website, presented by Jennifer Noyce, the Sociology career advisor from the Pomerantz Career Center.

Additionally, the Sociology Club hosted Professor Freda Lynn as a sociology faculty guest speaker on Thursday, March 31st. Finally, the Sociology Club hosted a panel discussion in collaboration with representatives in charge of the University of Iowa’s theme semester on social justice, entitled “Just Living”.
