Dear Grad Students,
As temperatures cool down, the Passport to Professional Development is heating up! Have you submitted your passport yet? The Fall deadline to collect prizes is December 20, 2020. Register now.
If you're looking for a few more events to round out your Passport, you can learn to negotiate a job offer from the Career Center and QB3; acquire the fundamentals of Stata and Python at the D-Lab; or attend the TextXD Conference to meet text processing experts from academia and industry. All the details are below.
And as you close out your semester, remember to take care of yourself. Subscribe to our sister publication, the Graduate Student Life digest, for health and wellness-related resources.
