Professional Development Seminar Series, 2009-10

Professional Development Seminar Series, 2009-10 

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 at different stages of their graduate careers and 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 coffee/tea will be served at the Professional Development seminars; no lunches.
