"I have enjoyed working with the GradFUTURES team at a variety of career/networking events and the new GradFUTURES Mentorship program. The staff are all very kind and driven to help the students achieve their career goals. I'm happy to be a part of it!

Grad school is not easy. Don't hesitate to use all the resources at your disposal (i.e., GradFUTURES) to make it to the finish line with a plan for the future! Seriously: you are nearly at the top of your field already—it's ok to be confident in your skills & expertise! Meet people (perhaps virtually) at conferences, talk to professors, work with external collaborators, and build your professional network! I highly recommend getting out of your lab/department and seeing what other groups/jobs/industries are like. You may be surprised by all of the different options that will be open to you after grad school if you keep an open mind and talk to people."

I have participated in the following GradFUTURES Programs: GradFUTURES Forum, GradFUTURES Mentorship Program

Yes: I am open to being contacted by a Princeton Graduate Student for an informational interview!
