Education is pleased to announce the opening of this year’s
application to our Path of Professorship workshop. This
workshop is designed to provide graduate and post-doctoral
women with information about academic scientific careers and
the application process. Each year we are able to gather a
wonderful group of female professors from MIT and beyond to
talk about their experiences in academia. This year is no
different and we are expecting an exciting and informative
weekend. </span><br>
