Life After Graduation

Objective(s):
To present current students with possible careers they may obtain after graduation. This workshop will provide information regarding careers in academia, government, or industry.
This workshop will provide information to current graduate students about careers they may obtain after graduation.  This will be useful to a range of students including those interested in ceasing their graduate careers after obtainment of their M.S. to those continuing on to complete their Ph.D. We will be hosting representatives from academia, industry, and governmental entities.  The category of academia will be represented by department heads and existing professors including those early in their careers.  Industry representatives cover a range of research disciplines. Governmental representatives will include those from the USDA and public horticulture. We will be providing a somewhat informal presentation process with each category assigned stations. Each station will be given a specific time allotment to present helpful advice and ways in which students may obtain careers in their field. This will occur during the first hour and fifteen minutes. The last 45 minutes will allow students to approach representatives for one-on-one conversation.  Although this session is directed toward graduate students, everyone is welcome to participate in this useful workshop!
