Making the decision to switch from a tenure-track path to pursue other career options may raise a variety of career and personal issues. This program offers you an opportunity to explore the often emotional move away from a tenure-track career. Connect with other graduate students on issues of importance to you, with special emphasis on creating a new identity, perhaps different from what others may imagine for you. Please join us for this thought-provoking conversation to help you develop confidence as you embark on a meaningful post-academic career. FREE. Pre-registration is required.
