Academic Career Series Half-Day Conference
Academic Career Series concludes with a half-day conference that brings together perspectives from academics across different disciplines who have academic job market experience (as candidates, as members of the search committee, or both).
This event is co-sponsored by the Career Planning Service and Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies as part of the College of Graduate Mentorship.
