Are you interested in helping your fellow grad students find careers outside of academia? The UCSB Beyond Academia organizing committee is now recruiting graduate students and postdocs to join the planning team for next year’s conference. Come hear more about how you can get involved with 2023 Beyond Academia!

By becoming part of the team, you will have an opportunity to develop transferable skills that are valuable to careers both inside and outside of the academy. The organizing team handles all aspects of the conference, including:

• Identifying and inviting speakers
• Organizing panels and workshops
• Maintaining a budget and financial records
• Publicizing the event
• Arranging venue and materials
• And more!

Organizers have the chance to gain valuable experience with team-based project management and event organization, as well as numerous opportunities to broaden your personal and professional networks, learn about a variety of rewarding careers, and work with a talented interdisciplinary team of graduate students and postdocs.

If you are not able to attend this meeting, we will be having another one on June 10! Or you can simply sign our organizer interest form and our team will reach out to you with more information.
