In this short course, students will acquire the skills needed to successfully navigate their journey toward careers and graduate schools in various fields, including STEAM (STEM+ Arts and Design), health and environmental policy/advocacy, science communication, public health, and informal education. First-year to senior students will develop their online presence, grow their mentoring network, perfect their CVs/resumes and personal statements, and gain practice in communicating and showcasing their work in the form of exhibitions, conference abstracts/posters, elevator pitches, blogs, and journals that publish undergraduate research. Students will learn how to identify funding for internships, research experiences, and post-graduate fellowships and learn how to integrate their academic and experiential learning. Students will construct a professional development plan through self-reflection, peer review, and mapping assets to help guide them toward their future careers. Diverse perspectives and career options will be presented through alumni interactions and with community partners such as Biobus, Urban Systems Lab, Imagine Science Films, The Climate Museum, and Biodesign Challenge. Students will also be exposed to the vast professional and networking opportunities in NYC as well as university resources and events to showcase their work, such as the Lang Dean's Honor Symposium, Biodesign Challenge, and SPARK.
