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 College Students' Lunch * First Generation College Grad Students’ Lunch location:53 Commons, lunch provided (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... http://www.academia.edu/474522/_Those_invisible_barriers_are_real_The_progression_of_first-generation_students_through_doctoral_education or Here's Smarty-Pants, Home for the Holidays http://www.chronicle.com/article/Heres-Smarty-Pants-Home-for/136069/ Date: Friday, November 11, 2016 Time: 12:00pm - 1:00pm Location: Campus: Graduate Studies http://libcal.dartmouth.edu/event/2956096 * Writing Your Diversity Statement * Writing Your Diversity Statement Academic institutions want to hire faculty who are committed to educating a diverse population of students.

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. Date: Tuesday, November 15, 2016 Time: 12:00pm - 1:30pm Location:1930s room, Rockefeller Campus: Graduate Studies http://libcal.dartmouth.edu/event/2955280 lunch provided * Gear Up for Research * Gear Up for Research- November 18 @ DHMC Join us at Gear Up to get the information you'll need to be successful in your research. Gear Up will be held Friday, November 18th, from 10:30am-12:30pm, in Auditoriums A-D at DHMC. Gear Up is an information fair that brings together entities that support research at Dartmouth and DHMC. It is here that researchers including faculty, residents, nurses, students, and postdocs, have the opportunity to learn about services, meet key people, ask questions, and get answers. We have invited more than twenty-five departments to showcase their services; such departments include the Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects, the Library, the Dartmouth Institute, SYNERGY, and Laboratory for Clinical Genomics and Advanced Technology (CGAT). A full list of participating departments can be found at: http://sites.dartmouth.edu/gearup/ Gear Up for Research is made possible by generous support from Dartmouth SYNERGY: Clinical and Translational Science Institute and is organized by the Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries. Be sure to stop by anytime between 10:30 and 12:30. Refreshments will be served. We look forward to seeing you November 18th! ######################################################################## * Subscription Details * You are subscribed to Graduate Studies Listserv.
