The SCS Emigration Seminars are a series of lectures and discussion
sessions that focus on "grooming" you so you'll be ready to conquer the
real world when you finish your Ph.D. The interwoven threads are Jobs,
Money, Career Options, Intellectual Property, The Real World, Ethics,
and Communication Skills. Unlike the Immigration course, which is held
during the first three weeks of the school year, the Emigration course
is spread over the entire academic year. While the topics of interest
are chosen with the more senior students in mind, students in the
entire School of Computer Science are encouraged and welcome to attend.
Faculty are welcome too.
