Career Development

Communicating Science, a Career Development workshop sponsored by the College of Graduate Studies, included a plenary session for the Upstate community followed by break-out sessions for our graduate students. Dr. Evonne Kaplan-Liss (second from right), from the Center for Communicating Science, is pictured in one of the break-out groups.

The College of Graduate Studies is continually striving to incorporate more formal career development events to our students. The following are some of the events being held.
