My biggest realization since starting graduate school is that each and every one of us is following their own journey, at their own pace. GradFUTURES is here to help you on this journey, whenever it may be, by providing the most relevant and useful opportunities for you, taking into consideration your goals, interests, and timeline. The resources across and beyond campus are so vast: there is definitely something out there for you to develop valuable skills and advance your professional development! GradFUTURES has been invaluable in connecting me with our alumni network. The mentorship program is a great resource to get to know professionals in and outside academia who have the perspective and hindsight to help you figure out your next steps. Conversations with my mentor have helped me get more clarity and have given me a space to ask very practical questions about career advancement.
