Professional Development Opportunities

Formal presentations for conferences can be intimidating, especially when you navigate your first conference. In this workshop we will focus on best practices for preparing and presenting at a conference. We will talk through presenting with nerves, developing your pacing as a speaker, as well as presenting in a manner that allows you to engage with your audience. Participants will also get a chance to practice their public speaking skills in a supportive in-person environment. Register here.

In this session, hear firsthand reflections on the lessons learned during the transition, what life in industry is really like, and the skills and mindsets that make the biggest difference. Through personal experiences and practical advice, you’ll gain insights to help you navigate your own career journey with greater confidence and a clearer understanding of what to expect beyond graduate school.
