Professional Development for Graduate Students
The PACES program is a voluntary, co-curricular program designed to help graduate students gain non-disciplinary skills for success through, and beyond, their education. Whether you are already working in your career or planning to soon, PACES workshops and events support you in pursuing your graduate degree and prepares you for real-world professional environments.
Events are facilitated by experts in their fields and can include presentations, workshops, panels, golf outings and networking, online modules and other web-based resources, all integrating information and training for your success.
Past topics include critical conversations, cultural sensitivity, debt management/financial planning, office etiquette, optimizing your resume, interviewing techniques, and job hunting in today's economy.
Coming Soon: the workshop schedule for 2013-14 is in the planning process and will be published before the Fall 2013 semester begins.
