Cultivate Your Career Community of Support in Academia & Beyond
This in-person session for master’s and PhD students and postdoctoral fellows is a space to explore cultivating a community of support for both academic and non-academic careers.

Whether you are interested in pursuing a career in academia or seeking non-academic opportunities after completing your graduate studies, the people around you will be important to your career and you will be important in theirs. In this session, we will discuss:
- Ways to build connections with peers, your supervisor, committee members, and other staff and faculty you may interact with
- How to talk to people at conferences
- Cultivating peer connections for support now and in the future
- Acknowledging competitive environments that can make it difficult to share and connect with others
