In this graduate student-driven panel, current language program directors and coordinators from a variety of institutional contexts will share their professional experiences. Topics for this informal and informative discussion include the evolving job market, preparing for the role of LPD in grad school, navigating changing program structures, support through collaboration, and more. Attendees of all levels are welcome, but current and recent graduate students’ questions will be given priority. Attendees are invited to submit questions for panelists in advance here (by September 30, 2023).
