For academics, work is often more than a way to pay the bills: it is a vocation. Even thinking about a career change therefore causes many of us to experience an acute identity crisis–"something Chris Caterine experienced first-hand when he left the professoriate to work for a global consulting firm. During this practicum, Chris draws on lessons from his book Leaving Academia to help you disentangle your sense of self from your academic career and to develop strategies for demonstrating the relevance of your professional experience to employers in other sectors.

Lunch will be provided, and Princeton Graduate Students who register and attend will receive a copy of Chris's book.
