Expand Your Career Options is a series of events featuring graduate degree level alum panelists who pursue their careers in various fields. It occurs every semester and is created with doctoral students and postdoc scholars in mind. The event series originated from a commitment that recognizes all graduate students do not go into academia, so we seek to normalize that individuals go into, and succeed in, a range of careers.
