Take the lead of your education and hone your career intentions!
Graduate students today have a plethora of academic and professional opportunities they may engage in during their graduate journey. There are also many ways to define success both within and after graduate school.
- How do you choose which opportunities to take advantage of?
- Are you setting yourself up to succeed in your intended career path after graduate school?
- Do you even know that path?
This interactive workshop will not only help you develop or enhance your academic plan for completing your graduate degree, but will help you explore possibilities and design your career path. We’ll build a road map for navigating the many opportunities available and help you establish strategies for attaining your professional objectives.
