November 15

Susan Campbell Hall Graduate Student Lounge

Are you a graduate student seeking employment in academia, but is also open to exploring opportunities beyond academia? Or are you interested in something in between, that is, academia-adjacent prospects? Academia-adjacent jobs refer to positions that are closely related to the academic field but may not involve traditional faculty roles. These jobs can include research positions in think tanks, policy analysis, educational consulting, departmental administration, roles in non-profit organizations, and positions in industry that value advanced research skills and knowledge. They often allow graduates to apply their expertise in a broader context while still engaging with the academic community.

Join in to unpack these topics, brainstorm together and strategize ways to enhance your ability to articulate your portable and transferable skills while leveraging your existing networks. Register at this link

This session will take place at:

Graduate Student Lounge, Susan Campbell Hall November 15, 2024 from 1:00PM to 2:00PM
