Preparing for Non-Academic Jobs

       with Paula Chambers, The Versatile PhD [versatilephd.com] 
(www.versatilephd.com [www.versatilephd.com])

       Friday, October 14, 2011

       The Wexner Center Film/Video Theatre, 1871 N. High St.

                Presentation:  3:00-4:00 p.m.

       Panel:  4:00-5:30 p.m.

       This event is targeted to graduate students in Arts & Humanities, as 
well as interested participants from all of Arts & Sciences,
       students and faculty alike.  This will be an opportunity to learn 
about the many other career paths open to graduate students beyond
       the tenure track.  There will be a presentation with Paula Chambers, 
founder and director of The Versatile PhD [versatilephd.com],
       and a panel of OSU PhDs who have found professional success outside 
the academy, including DJ Hovermale (Linguistics), John Rice
       (Managing Partner, Triathlon Medical Ventures), and Kathleen 
Hallihan (the John Glenn School).  We will also hear from Ana
       Berrios-Allison, Associate Director of OSU's Career Connection.  
Interested graduate students can also register for an informal 1 on
       1 meeting with Dr. Chambers.

       This should be an entertaining and informative session, from which 
all graduate students at every stage in their career should
       benefit.  Registration is free:  to register, please visit 
http://go.osu.edu/gradscheventreg [go.osu.edu].  Register for the 3-5 p.m.
       slot only, unless you want a 1-1 meeting with Dr. Chambers. 
 Faculty, students and staff may all register.  For more information,
       contact Sebastian Knowles at knowles.1 at osu.edu.  This event is 
co-sponsored by the Graduate School, which has also provided a
       subscription for The Versatile PhD resource.  That site can be 
reached at http://go.osu.edu/VersatilePhD [go.osu.edu] (authenticate
