July Grad15 sessions examine career development and research impact
With the summer quickly winding down, graduate students approaching the completion of their programs are beginning to prepare for their professional future filled with resumes, interviews and jobs.
Throughout June, the Graduate College’s weekly Grad15 mini-webinars focused on skills current graduate students need for their future careers: building business models, building graduate alumni networks with the Career Navigators program, and building a professional identity through digital portfolios and LinkedIn.
For July, we’re looking ahead. Join us after the holiday break as we explore Graduate College programs geared toward helping graduate students take that final step from student to professional.
