Laney Alumni Career Panel
Laney Alumni Career Panel connects students with distinguished alumni who have chosen career paths outside of the academy.
The Laney Alumni Career Panel Discussion Series connects students with distinguished alumni who have chosen diverse career paths. At these events, alumni from a variety of fields return to Emory to network with our students and discuss their career paths and the unique ways that they have used their graduate training to succeed in positions that current students may never have considered. The series provides the opportunity to ask questions, such as:
- How did you imagine and implement a career plan for your career?
- How do you use the research skills you developed as a graduate student in your current career?
- How has your teaching experience helped you succeed in your career?
The goal of the Laney Alumni Career Panel series is to provide graduate students with opportunities to learn about diverse career opportunities available to them once they leave Emory and how to leverage the skills they have developed.
