Professional Programming
The GSA also works closely with the Alumni Association to bring in speakers from various science careers, enabling students to explore different career paths. The GSA sponsors a Women in Science seminar series, as well as a Bridging the Gap seminar series to promote the bench-to-bedside aspect of research.
Speed Networking
Students and postdocs sign up to meet professionals on a personal, one on one level. These professionals work in a wide array of career paths, including, drug discovery, grants administration, industry postdoc, undergraduate teaching, medical writing, and many more. The aim of the event is to give our graduate students and postdoctoral fellows a unique chance to build connections for professional growth and development as well as for the professionals to offer any job opportunities.
Career Seminars
