Interactions with Students and Challenges in Graduate Education
In her work with students, the speaker uses a combination of online interactions, such as Zoom calls, and in-person meetings when possible. She also organizes a mini journal club within certain student cohorts, where they present their research to their colleagues and supervisors. Despite lacking business training, the speaker believes in the importance of helping graduate students understand career options in different industries. She acknowledges that industry professionals can provide valuable insights and is grateful for the inclusive culture in agriculture that encourages collaboration between academia and corporate groups. Bringing industry members into the classroom is a stimulating way to expose students to various career pathways. The speaker finds that panels and discussions at the end of the semester often generate more career-related questions than they have time to address.
