<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;background:white"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#6F7287;letter-spacing:.4pt">This seminar, for MIT postdoctoral scholars, focuses on building leadership skills during postdoctoral training. Tangible
examples will be provided on how to become involved with campus organizations (like the MIT Postdoctoral Association) and committees, academic groups, industry organizations, non‐profit organizations, and networking groups. Being active in these types of roles
builds leadership, management, presentation, communication, networking, and interpersonal skills. Leadership ability is tremendously valuable as you build your career, and is sought after by employers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
