On Wednesday, October 3, we were pleased to host a professional-development event for graduate students across the humanities with Dr. Daniel Hartnett, Associate Professor of Spanish at Kenyon College. His presentation, “Crafting a Profile for a Liberal Arts Job,” explained how students can plan their graduate study to build a diversified profile that can shine through in their application materials and set them on the path to tenure. He specifically addressed the culture and hiring practices of liberal-arts colleges, and drew on his own experience as a doctoral alum of the University of Virginia to communicate how graduate students can position themselves for success in a changing academic job market. There was ample time for questions and answers from students as well. See below for the event flyer.
