Virtual Office Has Opened!

Our virtual office using the Gatherly video conferencing service has opened! We will be using this online platform for appointments especially our new 1-on-1 career sessions. These counseling opportunities will pilot our virtual career center for members of our Doctoral Directory. PhD trainees on our mailing lists can find announcements this summer about how to sign-up for free 30 minute career sessions with partner career counselor, Lauren Lyon.
