Pathways Beyond the Professoriate
PBP connects students with distinguished alumni who have chosen career paths outside of the academy. This month's topic is Careers for PhDs in Higher Education Administration.
In the PBP series, alumni from a variety of fields return to Emory to network with our students and discuss their career paths and the unique ways that they have used their Masters or PhD degrees to identify positions that current students may never have considered. They discuss the skills they developed during their time as graduate students and how use of those skills has translated into professional success.
All students are welcome to attend these events.
