Bridging the Gap: Industry Power Skills Series

Transitioning from campus to the workplace comes with a set of unwritten rules. To help you navigate your first job or internship, the Office of Graduate Student and Postdoc Development (GSPD) is hosting "Bridging the Gap", a discussion-based series designed to shift your mindset from student to professional.
