Hello Grad Students and Post-Docs:

Lorna and I would like to wish all of you a Happy Holiday Season and a New Year filled with joy and plenty of career success. Be sure to come to the CEGEP Panel discussion this month where human resource professionals, academic deans & profs share what they look for when hiring their teachers, how they evaluate them and what other career options are available. You can also look forward to the Government Grad Cafe January 29th, 2009 where we will make networking with civil servants very easy. 

In the meantime, much health, wealth and love, and the time to enjoy them.
