The College of Graduate Mentorship supports upper-year PhD students and postdocs in their transition into the job market.
The program consists of two components through which you will have the opportunity to:
- Learn from the job-search experience of a faculty mentor with whom you will meet 2 times per semester. Mentorship pairings will begin in September 2024.
- Expand your knowledge of the career paths available to Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ PhDs through the TRaCE Talks, monthly panel discussions with Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ alumni working in diverse careers. The TRaCE Talks are open to all members of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ community.Μύ

TRaCE Talks
Most Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ PhDs work in diverse careers beyond academia. Building on the insights of the project, the TRaCE Talks invite Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ alumni to share their experiences in non-academic careers in monthly panel discussions open to all members of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ community.
