It is extremely valuable for us as graduate students to learn how to effectively communicate our research with those outside of academia and this is a strategy I have developed through my participation in GradFUTURES. 

I have participated in the Community College Teaching Fellowship and now the Social Impact Fellowship. Both of these experiences have helped me to hone in on how I want to engage with history in accessible and outward facing ways. GradFutures is incredible and provides so many resources to help us become well rounded educators, students and professionals. Make sure you take full advantage!
