Annual Career Symposium
The Annual Career Symposium or Career Day is an event entirely organized by our graduate students and focuses on career opportunities outside of academia.
Fantastic speakers, some of whom are alumni of our PhD program, are invited to give insight on how they transitioned from a PhD/postdoc position in academic research to their current position outside of academia, introducing their unique backgrounds and providing advice to our young researcher looking to pursue careers beyond and including the academic path.
Check out the program of the upcoming Career Day.
