Are you considering a career outside of academia? Whether you’re considering work in a lab, in private industry, or elsewhere, non-academic career possibilities can build on the same skills you’ve developed in academia, like research, mentoring, and learning new concepts. Join us to hear CIRTL alumni reflect on how they came into their non-academic careers: what made them pursue this path; its benefits, stressors, and rewards; and how CIRTL shaped their interests, skills, and community. Part of the series How CIRTL Impacted My Career: Alumni Reflections.
