Part 2: How to Conduct an Effective Academic Job Search
Thurs., Nov. 12 – 3:30 pm (University Center, Council Rm.)
Don’t miss this one! The job market is tough, and if you are not looking in the right places, you may miss opportunities. The workshop will interest all graduate students in who intend to pursue a career in academia. Broadly conceived, the workshop’s aim is two-fold: to outline the job search process and to suggest how students at all stages of graduate school can begin to prepare.

“How the Millennial Generation is Shaking up the Workplace”
Tues. November 10th, 2009
2:00-3:15 pm
University Center, Panorama Room
The Office of the Provost, Career Services, Office of Student Engagement, and the Monfort College of Business invites faculty and staff to be our guest for a presentation by Ron Alsop, former editor for the Wall Street Journal and author of the new book "The Trophy Kids Grow Up: How the Millennial Generation Is Shaking Up the Workplace. The Millennial Generation, also known as the "Trophy Kids," were born between 1980 and 2001 and represent a new breed of student, worker, and global citizen. The millennials are truly trophy kids, the pride and joy of their parents who remain closely connected even as their children head off to college and enter the work force. Meet the millennials and learn how this remarkable generation promises to stir up the workplace and perhaps the world.
