What kinds of careers open up to you with research experience in psychology besides being a professor – and what is being a professor really like, anyways? In addition to universities and hospitals, UM Psychology graduates have gone on to a wide variety of successful careers, including business, marketing, law, pharmaceuticals and journalism, and at companies like SpaceX, Facebook, Google, Amazon – even the Ministry of Defense in Singapore! We’ll talk with some recent graduates who have gone down the academic and nonacademic career paths about their journey and how being involved in psychological research contributed to their success.

NOTE: The live session will be recorded and posted on the STAR Scholars website if you are unable to attend.
