More PhDs are employed by the government and companies than universities. Is it just research skills that got them these jobs? Many non-academic organizations rely on a staff that supports education in house, personnel development, or outreach, but teaching preparation may assist with many types of jobs in government and industry. Learn what some of these professions are like and ask questions of CIRTL alumni in the public and private sectors in this online panel event. Panelists will talk about their specific careers, how they got where they’re at, and how these careers build on their interests in STEM and teaching. This is the fourth and final event in our four-part series “Exploring Career Paths with CIRTL Alumni.”

Speakers

TBD; CIRTL leaders and local staff can nominate alumni to speak on this panel here.
