Transitioning from advanced academic training to executive leadership in the nonprofit and NGO sector requires a distinct set of strategies. The Office of Doctoral Studies is hosting a distinguished group of industry leaders to provide practical insights into this transition. This session will move beyond general career advice to discuss the realities of leading mission-driven organizations, identifying industry trends, and leveraging your doctoral expertise for maximum impact.
A panel discussion and Q&A will be followed by a small reception. Light refreshments will be served. Open to the NYU community (students, faculty and staff)!
