Workshop 5: Academia and Other Options - What can you do with a PhD?

Historically, most individuals earning a PhD pursued a career in academia to conduct research and teach at a university or college. Today, many PhD graduates go into a career outside of academia. This workshop will explore career options available to those with a PhD including jobs in academia, administration, and industry. Panelists will share insight about their careers, as well as how they got to where they are in their professional journey.
