Virtual Professional Development CAFÈ 

(Connect, Achieve, Facilitate and Engage) 

We’re sailing through the summer and enjoying engagements with network members through professional development opportunities with the McDonald Institute! Let’s come together again for our third monthly Virtual Professional Development CAFÉ this coming Wednesday July 14th at 2:30pm EDT!
Take a break break from your studies, work, and research and drop-in to join the conversation!
What is the virtual Professional Development CAFÉ series you ask? These sessions are casual gatherings of community members in a platform to network and discuss topics of broad interest to early career researchers! Each Virtual CAFÉ will be hosted by McDonald Institute staff, with opportunities to connect with other support personnel across the network to enhance undergraduate, graduate, postdocs, and faculty success and impact. We take the approach that professional development is for EVERYONE, and learning is an ongoing process!
Here’s what you can expect when you join:
  • Access to McDonald Institute staff for questions and assistance.
  • Links to professional development opportunities to further your degree or research experience.
  • Developing your communication skills in virtual space.
  • Build your Astroparticle Physics research network.
  • Meet career counsellors, writing specialists, reference librarians, and other support staff for 1:1 consultation.
