Join us for a special event open to all Dornsife Ph.D. students. The Dornsife Ph.D. Academy is visiting the USC Career Center for their Headshots to Handshakes program! We will provide dinner in the Trojan Presentation Room (STU B3) from 5:00-5:30pm. We will then hear from the Career Center for a 30-minute LinkedIn and Trojan Network workshop, and then move to the Career Center in STU 110 to utilize their new IRIS Booth so attendees can take high-quality professional headshots for free! 

Our attendees will also receive a complimentary digital business card, courtesy of the Career Center. Digital business cards will feature a QR code directly linking employers to your contact information.
