The Graduate School is pleased to announce an innovative program to assist graduate students in exploring and preparing for a variety of career options, beyond the faculty positions to which many doctoral students aspire. This program will also help us better understand the career choices UNC Chapel Hill graduate students are considering and the skills necessary for competitive placement. http://gradschool.unc.edu/funding/gradschool/blandfellowship.html.

University Career Services, in collaboration with The Graduate School, will provide an information session/workshop for interested applicants to help them identify possible career internship opportunities, develop experiential learning objectives, prepare appropriate materials, and learn about networking strategies to assist with developing project ideas and mentoring relationships. Students who received this fellowship in prior summers will present posters about their experiences.
