An afternoon with Shahrukh Khan

Cybersecurity, mentorship, and building something of your own

Illinois Tech alum Shahrukh Khan returns to campus for an interactive conversation on building a career after graduation — from his path into cybersecurity to mentoring students, building Careerly AI, an AI-powered resume tool, and founding UPSA, a nationwide student and alumni network.

What he’ll cover

• The cybersecurity path, and the Illinois Tech coursework and connections that mapped to it
• Why strong candidates still miss interviews, and what the ones who broke through changed
• What mentoring taught him, and why teaching is the fastest way to learn
• A live look at Careerly AI, with time for your questions
• Networking that lasts: how UPSA started, and how to use a network like it

Shahrukh came to the United States as an international student four years ago. International students are encouraged to bring their questions.

Who can attend

All Illinois Tech students and alumni, plus students and alumni from other institutions attending through UPSA.
