0 CRA-W Grad Cohort

This weekend I am attending the CRA-W Graduate Cohort in San Mateo, California. The workshop is for graduate women in computing to provide guidance, networking and mentoring. Some of the workshops that I attended include:

• What is Grad School All About: Goals and Skills
• Ph.D. Academic Career Paths; Research, Teaching, Administration
• M.S. Career Opportunities
• Balancing Graduate School and Personal Life
• Ph.D. Non-Academic Career Paths: Industrial Research & Development
• Publishing Your Research
• Building Self-Confidence
• Being a Women in Computing Technology

The workshop also included lunch break out sessions by research areas. I found this beneficial - the opportunity to network with people from across the country with similar research interest.

The next few blog entries include my notes and thoughts from the various sessions.
