Women in Cognitive Science (WiCS): Networking for Career Transitions

Friday, May 23, 2025 · Washington, DC

Oral

Career transitions can be both expected, as when you move from one stage of training to another, and unexpected, when openings arise or circumstances change. These transition points bring uncertainty and opportunity. At times of transition, networks of peers and mentors can provide connections, advice, and support for career development. Our panelists bring expertise from multiple sectors to a discussion of building and maintaining professional networks throughout a career. Panel discussion and Q&A will run from 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm, followed by a speed networking event.
