Botanical Career Panel.

There is a diversity of careers for people with botanical degrees, but our academic training has traditionally only prepared us for mostly academic options (research, teaching or both). Networking with professionals in a variety of botanical careers is an excellent way to discover and prepare for alternate careers to academia, or to solidify your academic career choice. This panel will include professionals with botanical degrees who will discuss their professional experiences (in, e.g., industry, government, non-profit, community college, university) and answer participants’ questions. Our moderator will facilitate an open discussion designed to address opportunities in the post-undergraduate and post-graduate job markets. A networking event for panelists and participants will be hosted by the Torrey Botanical Society and attended by additional botanical professionals in the evening after the panel discussion.
