Careers in Mind - May 2022

Careers in Mind is a virtual symposium where we host Psychology career-related panels in the month of May. We invite Psychology Alumni and community members to speak about their career paths. This event is free to UC San Diego students!

This year's theme is Shaping your Future in an Evolving Workforce. Join us to hear from Psychology Alumni and community members on how they have navigated the evolving workforce. Having adapted through ambiguity, we are moving forward confidently by recognizing the valuable skills we have acquired.

Please join us in the month of May to listen to the motivating stories from our UCSD Psychology alumni and community members.
