In graduate school, it’s easy to focus on the next reading, conference, or dissertation chapter without giving much thought to what comes after graduation. Yet the years immediately following grad school can be some of the most important—and challenging—of your career.
This session explores the range of paths available after graduate school, including academic, alt-ac, and non-academic careers. We’ll discuss what to expect, common opportunities and challenges, and practical steps you can take now to prepare for a successful transition.
All graduate students and postdocs are welcome. If you are a TA, this session counts toward voluntary paid training hours, provided that you are working as a TA in the term when the training takes place.
