Dear Grad Students,
Fall is here, and this is the season for several once-a-year events you won't want to sleep on.
Did you know that each fall, employers come to campus to recruit Ph.D. students? Read below for details about the Ph.D. Career Connections mixer and the Masters and Ph.D. Career Fair. (Humanists and social scientists: career fairs have opportunities for you, too!)
Other annual events below include the Library's Scholarly Communication series (a must if you're thinking of publishing your dissertation!) and the new "Wellness for GSIs" workshop offered by the GSI Teaching & Resource Center and Counseling & Psychological Services.
