Have you been thinking about what’s next after graduate school? What about the preparation that goes along with finishing your degree: updating your CV, writing your thesis, and searching for a job in a job market that seems to be constantly shifting? Join Dr. Brian Burt, a U-M alumnus and Assistant Professor of Higher Education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, for an interactive workshop that explores how to leverage your experience at U-M in the job search and in your career. Dr. Burt’s program of research uses qualitative methodological approaches to study the experiences of graduate students, and the institutional policies and practices that influence students’ educational and workforce pathways. Professor Burt will also discuss how to lay a solid foundation for being a successful mentor and advisor, regardless of the experience that you may have had as an advisee. This workshop is appropriate for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows across STEM, humanities, and social science disciplines.
