Careers, Alumni, & Linguistics at Michigan State (CALMS)<https://msulinguists.weebly.com/calms.html>


Friday, November 22nd

and

Saturday, November 23rd

B-342 Wells Hall


What do linguists do when they graduate? What’s it like to work as a professor? What can you do with a linguistics degree outside of academia?


Hosted by the Linguistics program, these professional development workshops are primarily for graduate students, but are relevant to students and alumni at any level, in any field of language-related studies.


At our hands-on Saturday morning workshops:

Ai Taniguchi will use her experience as a professor at Carleton University to teach you how to develop a 5-minute elevator pitch, and explain your research in accessible ways to students, community members and future employers.

Steve Johnson is a Lead Curriculum Designer at IXL Learning. He’ll help you navigate the career landscape outside academia, and to develop a resumé that translates your linguistic skills into business terms.


Also: Join us Friday afternoon to meet Ai and Steve and hear about their career journeys. You can also watch a research lightning talk competition judged by Ai, who was the winner of the 2019 Linguistics Society of America 5-minute Linguist competition<https://www.linguisticsociety.org/content/five-minute-linguist-contest-2019>. Come and hear some fun and accessible bite-size talks about how language works!


Events start at 2pm on Friday afternoon and end at 2pm Saturday afternoon. Join us for snacks on Friday and coffee, bagels, and catered lunch on Saturday.
