People who hold advanced degrees in STEM disciplines serve in many roles across academia – from administration and research support, to teaching centers and advising – where their preparation in teaching as well as their analytical and organizational skills are invaluable. Learn what some of these professions are like and ask questions of CIRTL alumni who work in these roles in this online panel event. Panelists will talk about their specific positions, their pathway to those positions, and the value of remaining connected to academia. This is the third event in our three-part series “Exploring Career Paths with CIRTL Alumni.”

Dr. Joelyn deLima, Scientist and Pedagogical Advisor, Swiss Federal Technology Institute of Lausanne
Dr. Abby Letak, Writing Across the Curriculum Associate Director, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Dr. Stephen K. Kim, Assistant Director for Educational Innovation & Lecturer in the Center for Dialogue & Pluralism; School of Industrial and Labor Relations Lecturer, Cornell University
