Unlocking Opportunities Beyond the Classroom

Graduate school is more than coursework and research—it’s a launchpad for your future.

This interactive workshop will help you discover creative and strategic ways to build your skill set outside the classroom. Learn how to identify opportunities such as unique roles, groups, and events that can set you apart. We’ll also explore “out-of-the-box” experiences that showcase your adaptability and leadership.

In addition, you’ll gain practical strategies for evaluating opportunities and saying “no” gracefully when they don’t align with your goals or values.

This event is part of the GRADnavigate workshop series.

Registration is required.
