Brown Bag Lunch
With Gary Hutchins, Deputy Title IX Coordinator and Assistant Dean of
the GRAD School
Thursday, Nov. 16 @ 12 noon
37 Dewey Field Road
Do you have questions about being a graduate student and how title IX
impacts you as a graduate student? As a TA in a course?
Gary Hutchins will answer questions and discuss what the GRAD schools'
role is with graduate students.
Feel free to bring your own lunch.
* Externships with GRAD Alumni *
Hello Graduate Students,
I am writing to tell you about a great opportunity to connect with
graduate alumni while gaining exposure to a possible career path. Over
one hundred and fifty graduate alumni from across the United States and
beyond have signed-up to host a graduate student for one day during the
month of December (or another arranged time) at their place of work. I
have listed the positions, companies, and locations where these graduate
alumni work at
http://graduate.dartmouth.edu/sites/graduate_studies.prod/files/graduate_studies/wysiwyg/externship-2017-contacts-rv__0.pdf
Once you have looked at the possible externship options, graduate
students may go to https://dartmouth.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5zgZ8Lf4iJNDdjv
and sign-up to participate in the program and list their top three
choices of externships. Match-ups will be done on a first come first
serve basis. Once the matches have been made, I will let you know who
your externship host will be and how to proceed from there. Please make
sure to sign-up by Sunday, November 12, 2017
If you do not see any positions of interest to you, I encourage you to
go to the Dartmouth Career Directory http://alumni.dartmouth.edu/alumnicareers
to identify possible graduate alumni. You could email the grad alum
yourself explaining the grad externship program or have me invite him/her
to join in the program.
Last year over 40 graduate students participated in the program. Both
graduate students and alumni thought it was an excellent experience!
Cheers,
Kerry
PS: Please note the Graduate Studies Office cannot cover your costs for
travel etc... Make sure you will be able to travel to the location (or
will be there for the holiday break) before you sign-up. Or you may
arrange to skype with the grad alum.
