Careers – academic and otherwise – are on the minds of many Vanderbilt graduate students this winter as they begin applying for positions, interviewing and awaiting offers. At the CFT we can tell because the career-focused session “Beyond the Ivory Tower: Alternative and Non-Academic Career Choices” at our upcoming gradSTEP event is a popular choice. So popular that we’ve decided to add a second session of this workshop to our line-up that day to accommodate everyone who is interested in exploring some of the issues and opportunities in careers outside of academia.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeyond the Ivory Tower: Alternative and Non-Academic Career Choices,\u201d set to take place on January 26<\/span>th<\/sup> from 12:45-1:50pm (this session is full) and <\/span>will repeat from 2:00-3:05 <\/strong>at Buttrick Hall (Room TBD).\u00a0 Both sessions of the workshop will feature Dr. Ruth Schemmer, Assistant Dean for Career Development, who will speak and answer questions on the alternative and non-academic job markets.\u00a0 Whether you\u2019re on the job market now or planning ahead, we hope to see you there!<\/span><\/p>\n Held in January each year,GradSTEP<\/strong> provides several workshops and discussions on teaching, learning, and professional development issues across the disciplines. This year’s line-up includes a session on alternative and non-academic careers featuring Dr. Ruth Schemmer, Assistant Dean for Career Development.\u00a0\u00a0Registration and more details<\/a> about GradSTEP are now available.
