Past Seminar Presentations
|
Carnegie Mellon's graduate students need to develop multiple employment options, fungible skills, and focused, holistic self-knowledge. The Professional Development Seminar Series supports this process through a series of seminars in business, management and communications skills geared to better prepare our graduate students for successful careers in academic, corporate, public and research sectors. Students are exposed to a range of professional skills they will need to excel in future leading, mentoring, teaching, financial, and management roles. The seminars provide graduate students with a practical knowledge of the basic professional skillsets. Please note: Dessert and drinks will be served at the spring Professional Development Seminars; no lunches. |
