When he applied to graduate school, no one accepted him. I believed he had a lot of potential, so I encouraged our program to accept him. D. When it came time to look for a job, he competed against people who had postdocs and succeeded in winning the position. As a matter of fact, he was hired at DuPont, and I understand that he is doing very well there.

Basically what I am saying is that it is excellence that we want. We have to be selective, and we have to provide good opportunities in a variety of ways. Edel Wasserman: I agree with you. I want to add the point that many of these students do not know the available choices when they are choosing their careers. Once they have chosen a career in one subject and their advisor is providing the best possible advice, suggesting a postdoc with someone who is a world leader in the field, their flexibility is quite small.
Dissertation to introduce, perhaps systematically, something akin to a mentoring experience with some other faculty member or some other project. It doesn’t actually have to be funded. ” Edel Wasserman: I want to mention an approach that has been used in a few departments. They call on graduates who have been in industry and have had varied experiences there to come and spend three or five days in the department. They have lunch and dinner with students and faculty, give a few talks in classes, hold seminars, and so on.
