Description

Thriving in Graduate School Workshop: Why Didn't Anyone Tell Me? Planning Now for the Career You Want Later

Congrats! You made it into graduate school, now what? It takes more than required coursework and a thesis/dissertation (a graduate degree) to build the career of your dreams.

The purpose of this workshop is to help you identify and communicate the career goal you have for your graduate degree and help you to develop a professional development plan that will help you reach that goal.

In this interactive workshop, we’ll first outline the general career paths that graduate degrees afford. Next, we’ll identify the major components of a typical graduate program timeline. Finally, we’ll explore some resources, opportunities, and activities beyond your graduate program requirements (including applying for graduate fellowships) that you may want to include in your graduate student experience plan to help you reach your career goals.
