What exciting plans does the Science & Health Professions Career Community have scheduled for the spring semester?
"In the Science & Health Professions career community, we are excited to continue discovering innovative ways to facilitate virtual learning opportunities and engage in dialogue around a broad spectrum of pathways, perspectives, and current topics in both the sciences and health professions. This semester, we’re exploring the fields of astrophysics, public and global health, health systems innovation, advanced practice nursing, medical sociology, and engineering as well as different medical specialties such as infectious disease medicine - just to name a few! We’re delighted to have just launched our very first Science & Health Professions Career Meetup as well, which gave students an opportunity to connect remotely with a variety of employers and graduate programs. We also look forward to welcoming a new Peer Career Advisor for Science & Health Professions to our team soon. Best wishes for the spring semester! Whether you’re remote, on campus, or somewhere in between - be well, stay safe, build community, and continue exploring! -- Rebecca Counter, MSEd, PgCert, Director, Science & Health Professions Advising/Associate Director
