MS vs PhD: Which should you choose, based on where you want to go?

Thursday, September 15, 2016 — 5:30PM – 6:30PM

This session will focus on the major differences in career options and in graduate studies between a Master’s degree and Ph.D. degree. Topics include realistic goals and expectations for each degree, various strategies for deciding which degree to pursue, based on where you want to go with your career (post-doc, industry, academia, startup). Content will be relevant for undergraduate/graduate students to focus on the pros/cons of pursuing the MS/PhD for careers in Industry/Government/Academia/Startups.


Strategies for Human-Human Interaction

Friday, September 16, 2016 — 2:00PM – 3:30PM

This session will focus on strategies for productive interaction with colleagues (both faculty and students), including the opportunities and challenges of being a woman and/or a minority in a computing technology career. Topics include inter-personal interaction dynamics, uncomfortable situations that might arise and how to react, the pros and cons of relationships with your fellow graduate students or department faculty, in the workplace, dealing with isolationism (i.e., “being the only one”), techniques for inclusion, and family-friendly policies to look for in a working environment. Content will be relevant for all groups (students, faculty, and industry professionals), and session will provide time for audience members to share their experiences and tips for success.
