The Society of Musicologists at Schulich (SMuSch) will host a panel discussion and Q&A about pursuing a career outside of academia (“alternative academic careers” or “alt-ac”) for graduate students in Music Research. Topics include post-graduation timelines and goal setting, how to prepare a non-academic CV, and how to market the skills you honed during your academic career for non-academic settings.  

If you have any questions or topics that you would like to be addressed during the event, we invite you to email smusch.mcgill [at] gmail.com in advance.

This event is co-sponsored by the Music Research department and the Music Graduate Students’ Society (MGSS) Special Projects Fund.
