Want to know more about career paths that involve working with data?

This spring the Graduate College Career Development office is hosting a special series of informal conversations with data professionals from industry, academia, and the nonprofit sector. Our featured guests hold advanced degrees in a variety of disciplines, engage with data in different ways, and are eager to share their experiences and advice. Come to some or all of the sessions.

Free coffee and snacks provided. Registration is required.

Can't make it in person? This workshop will be simultaneously broadcast online at go.grad.illinois.edu/eventspace.
