* Externships for Graduate Students *
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 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-contacts.pdf.
Once you have looked at the possible externship options, graduate
students may go to https://dartmouth.co1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_dhXMKEcj6fKRurr
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 Monday, November 14.
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.
* First Generation Grad Lunch *
First Generation College Grad Students’ Lunch
location:TBA
(First Gen students are those whose parents did not complete
a 4 yr college degree)
Are you the first in your family to go to college? If so, then perhaps
navigating graduate school has its share of joys
and challenges.
Come enjoy lunch and talk to other first-generation college graduate
students about their experiences.
If you are interested in reading a bit about the research on
First Generation Graduate Students here is an article...

* Writing Your Diversity Statement *
Writing Your Diversity Statement
Academic institutions want to hire faculty who are committed to
educating a diverse population of students. Diversity statements are
becoming a more common part of the required application materials. Come

to demonstrate your ability to teach and mentor all students.

* Lunch with Grad Biotech Alum *
Come have lunch and join James Geoghehan, Dartmouth Graduate Alum to
hear about his career in biotech.
Bio Below:
James Geoghegan grew up in the Upper Valley and later attended Oberlin
College, graduating in 1999. From 1999-2002 he worked as a laboratory
scientist at the Seattle division of Celltech R&D. In 2002, James joined
the MCB Graduate Program at Dartmouth and completed his PhD in 2008 in
the Department of Biochemistry in the laboratory of Dr. Surachai
Supattapone. Following graduation, James joined Adimab, LLC as an
industrial postodoctoral scientist working in therapeutic antibody
discovery. In 2009, he joined the laboratory of Dr. Beverly Davidson at
the University of Iowa as a postodocal scholar with a focus on
developing gene therapies for the treatment of neurodegenerative
diseases. In 2013, James joined the antibody discovery and protein
engineering group at MedImmune, the protein biologics division of
AstraZeneca. In 2016, James returned to Adimab where he currently works
as a Scientist II in antibody discovery and engineering.
