What is the Talk like an Academic Series?

                Interacting with professors and/or advisors

                Interacting as TAs with students

                Participating in classroom and group work discussions

                Communicating in job interviews

                Conducting presentations and thesis defenses

This program is divided into seven 2-hour workshops that run over seven weeks.

Thursdays from 2:00pm - 4:00pm, from January 23rd to March 12th, 2020 (no class on February 20th).
