A diverse workforce brings varied perspectives and understandings. At times, diversity can present challenges in creating an inclusive environment. This seminar empowers the participants to connect and understand the importance of being culturally competent and see how through inclusivity their work environments will blossom as we maintain a community of respect and civility.

Join us on November 19, at 2 p.m. (CST) for a virtual panel discussion featuring international postdocs and assistant professors from the University of Illinois across diverse fields who are early in their academic careers. This event is designed for PhD students and postdocs who are interested in pursuing careers in research, academia, or related fields. Panelists will share their personal experiences and path and offer practical tips for academic job applications and interviews. The session will be co-moderated by Dr. Shiyu Sun, Assistant Director, International Student Career Development at The Career Center and Jess Holmes, Assistant Director for Career & Professional Development at the Graduate College.
