Being a part of the Graduate Student Executive Council (GSEC) provided some great memories over the years.
My advice would be to keep an open mind, and to always be open to new possibilities. You’ll never know who you’ll meet, what talk you’ll have the opportunity to sit in on, or who’ll be sitting next to you in a seminar. Be open and be ready.
I work at a healthcare marketing agency called Area23 and I am a strategic planning director. I spend a typical day working with our internal teams and our clients to make sure our scientific work is based in the right brand strategy. This is usually done through a mixture of in-person meetings, phone calls and check-ins with the internal team throughout the day.
At Weill Cornell, I learned how to take difficult scientific concepts and distill them into elements that various audiences can understand. I was also able to hone my presentation and explanation skills throughout my years there, which help me greatly in my everyday work.
Enjoy your time at WCGS. Make the most of it, and make it last.
