Title

The North Carolina Consortium of Graduate Student Professional Development

Description

The Consortium holds that "the decision to accept a student into a graduate degree program (masters- or doctoral-level) should establish an implicit contract to provide not only the scholarly knowledge of the discipline, but also professional development skills and tools necessary to assume a variety of career paths." The state-wide consortium includes a dozen public and private universities in efforts to create an open database of shared education resources; allow graduate students reciprocal access to member university's development programs funded by shared sponsorship where possible; share in the planning of career development workshops; and create state-wide standards for professional development activities.
