Career Development Workshop 2025

SC INBRE looks forward to welcoming you to our 2025 Career Development Workshop, an in-person day of learning and networking!

Join us on Monday, June 23 in Columbia!

CDW25 will be held in the University Conference Center on the 8th Floor of the Close-Hipp Buildings on the USC Main Campus in Columbia. 

What is the CDW?

The Career Development Workshop (formerly Academic Leadership and Career Development Workshop) (CDW) is about you for you! This year, three tracks will be offered – one focused for students, one with a grant writing-focus and one for career development for faculty/staff/postdocs. Each of the sessions are intended to enhance your career development and/or grant proposal success.

Who can attend?

Anyone! Although CDW is focused on STEMM, specifically NIH, we welcome all to attend. Sessions are for any academic rank — from high school summer research students to experienced faculty and staff members, and all in between.

What is the cost?

NOTHING! The workshop is free! (We even include lunch!) 

Plan ahead

Lunch is held in a building across the street from the venue. We can’t do much about the weather, but we can provide the weather forecast below so you can plan accordingly.
