CONNECTING Masters and PhDs WITH DIFFERENT CAREERS
Mizzou Beyond Academia is a group at the University of Missouri run by students. It helps graduate students and postdocs see that there are many different job options outside of university teaching and research. We do this by organizing a big yearly conference, workshops, learning sessions, and talks with people who have jobs outside of universities.
Come to our first Mizzou Beyond Academia Conference! It’s a two-day event with talks, workshops, and speeches about jobs outside of universities for PhDs. It’s free to join for graduate students and postdocs from any school.

Helping Scholars Explore More Options Many students think the only job they can do is in academia. We help them see there are many other choices.
Showing How Academic Skills Work Elsewhere PhDs learn a lot of valuable skills. We help them see how these skills can be used in different jobs.
