Overview
August is Academia month at the Office of Career and Professional Development. This month, we shine a light on all of the careers in academia that aren't tenure-track faculty positions. These careers are part of academia, but they aren't what people usually mean when they say "academic careers". This program will broaden your understanding of what it means to work in academia. This program will be held on two days and we'll have three different UCSF professionals on each day. You're welcome to come to either event or both!
