Graduate & Professional Student Professional Development (research, teaching, career)

The Graduate School, in coordination with other offices around the university (Office of Research and Engagement, the UT Libraries, the Center for Career Development, and Teaching and Learning Innovation), provides the following list of events around campus that may be useful in a graduate student’s professional development. These workshops, training sessions, and job fairs are presented in three major categories: Research, Teaching, and Career. We hope that you find these events useful to you in preparing you for your career beyond graduate education.

If you would like to import the events calendar into your Google calendar or Outlook calendar, download the ICS file. This calendar will be updated as new events come in, however, so be sure to check back.
