The Graduate Student Council of Sociology (GSCS) is introducing a new event series: HOT TAKES. We will invite one faculty member each month to share their hot take on an aspect of academia with graduate students in our program.
The objective is two fold:
- For grad students to meet and network with faculty members, which may be particularly useful if you are looking for committee members or just want to get to know our professors.
- For grad students to learn how to thrive as a sociologist, beyond classroom-skills.
First up, we have Dr. Seth Abrutyn on Monday January 29 at 1pm in Lino Lounge sharing his hot take on networking. Please bring any questions you may have.
We invite you to join us every month in Lino Lounge. Coffee will be provided!
