The UW Graduate School recognizes that graduate education leads to careers in a range of occupations both inside and outside the academy.

Being prepared for a variety of careers following graduate education means enhancing your education and knowledge beyond the classroom, library, field, or lab. The Graduate School is pleased to offer this series of workshops and presentations that provide that “value-added” education and skills.

The series is designed to:

Ø      Identify non-academic topics and provide resources to assist graduate students, and post-doctoral fellows, in preparing for future careers in a broad array of fields and professions

Ø      Promote a broader sense of professional identity for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows than might be available from individual programs in disciplines or interdisciplinary fields

Ø      Promote graduate student retention rates through clarifying career options and assisting with navigating through graduate education

Ø      Provide students with a competitive edge securing professional positions

 There is no registration required for these events (except for "Turning Dissertations Into Books")

 We hope to see you there.
