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. Delivery formats include presentations, workshops, panels, online modules, and other web-based resources, with information and training received from the experts.
Whether you are already working in your career while pursuing a graduate degree, or planning to soon, PACES workshops and events support you in pursuing your graduate degree and prepares you for real world professional environments.
Topics covered in the past 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.
