November 2016 Dear Graduate Student, This is a call to action. I am seeking 10-15 individuals to join me in growing career development initiatives at UConn. In the spring, I will be interviewing and selecting graduate students to participate on a Graduate Student Career Programs and Services Advisory Council. We will meet one to two times each semester and we will be an action-driven group. You will need to commit to a minimum of one academic year of service beginning in September 2017. If you think that you might like to participate in this leadership opportunity, please email me at Kay.gruder@uconn.edu. Doing so will ensure that you will be emailed an application after January break. Heading into Industry or Academia?
