CP&PD Newsletter
Humanities & Social Sciences

Spring is here! Mostly. Well, it arrived. We are in the struggle weeks where potential chill is always around the corner, but knowing that we've turned the page on winter can still feel like solace.
 
Here at CP&PD, we are continuing to plan events and offer workshops, including Decoding a Job Ad (and Using it in Your Job Search) on Thursday, April 14 and Careers in K-12 Education on Wednesday, April 27.

Applications for the 2022-2024 Empire State Fellowship are due next week (Monday, April 4). Check out our Featured Jobs & Fellowships section below for lots of other great positions!
 
And our International Career Group has changed registration procedure very slightly: we'll be collecting signups for each meeting separately. Please register for the April session and the May session.
 
This month, David Hershinow, the director of the GC Writing Center, will give a presentation on how the Writing Center can help international students improve their writing skills. Don Goldstein, one of our career advisors, will follow that up by applying David’s suggestions to writing a great academic or non-academic cover letter. Join us on Zoom on Monday at 6 pm.

And finally, our colleagues at Baruch's Marxe School of Public and International Affairs
are holding an NYS Senate Legislative Fellowships Information Session on Thursday, April 7 at 1 pm

We hope to see you at any or all of these fabulous events!

One Mentor isn't Enough. Here's How to Build a Network of Mentors

Erika Moore writes about her experience as a Black woman in a white-dominated field, flailing for mentorship in grad school and deciding to take matters into her own hands. Some of the responses were negative and discouraging—but not all were dead ends. One contact led to an internship in industry, the career direction she envisioned at the time. When that experience left her thinking academia might be a better fit, another path of contacts led me to her current assistant professor position. One email at a time, one informational interview after another, she became comfortable, confident, and strategic in building her network of mentors.

The Unsung Career Benefits of Graduate Teaching Assistantships

New graduate students tend to see teaching, or the range of instructional work assigned to TAs, as socially complex and emotionally taxing work—work that in both knowledge and skills they may feel ill equipped to perform. They are right that it's complex and challenging, of course: teaching is all of these, requiring continual reflectivity, re-evaluation and reinvention. Morris Grubbs and Ashley Sorrell offer a session that they write about in this article titled TA-ing Your Way to Academic and Career Success at the University of Kentucky's orientation for new TAs. It's designed to help them connect the dots between their instructional duties and their roles as student researchers, their own well-being and that of others, their TA experiences, and their career paths.
