Thursday May 27 at 7:00 pm Jess Kidd kicked off a new service for SERS students that she has been wanting to offer for a long time. The program’s goal is to provide SERS students with the opportunity to receive advice and support from their peers, and to gain insights from upper-year students and environmental practitioners. Sessions will cover an array of topics including co-op placement success, graduate school opportunities, securing entry-level jobs, and career options. Each session will include at least one guest speaker who will discuss their experiences, offer advice, and answer student questions. For the first session Jess put herself under the bright lights to discuss her experience as an ERS undergrad, the transition to an MSc in Biology, her present adventure as a SERS PhD student and her 9 years of experience as an environmental practitioner.
Many thanks to Associate Director – Undergraduate Studies Rob de Loë and Administrative Manager Jennifer Nicholson for making this exciting new program a reality.
