The Future of Graduate Education and the Imperative of Professional Development [Video]

Join us as we present the 2024 GRADitude Award to Dr. Emily Miller, Deputy Vice President of the Association of American Universities (AAU). The GRADitude Award recognizes national leaders who have influenced the field of graduate professional development in profound and substantial ways. Immediately following the award presentation, Dr. Emily Miller will be joined by Princeton Graduate School Dean, Rodney Priestley, for a fireside chat.

Dr. Miller’s field-leading and field-serving work at the AAU through its Ph.D. Education Initiative has profoundly influenced graduate education and continues to shape the futures of the nation’s talented and diverse community of scholars and researchers through its clarion call for holistic professional development that recognizes the unique and evolving interests of today’s graduate students, positioning them well for life-long success and contributions to society. She will be in conversation with Dean Priestley regarding the future of graduate education, the imperative of professional development, and the important role of the AAU in transforming lives through education, research, and innovation.

This event is co-sponsored by Academic Analytics and is part of the 2024 GradFUTURES Forum: Building Clarity, Confidence, and Connections, a weeklong professional development conference for graduate students offering opportunities for meaningful professional growth and exploration of futures within and beyond the academy. With many inspiring keynote speakers, interactive workshops, career panels, and networking receptions, the 2024 GradFUTURES is open to the broader graduate community at Princeton and beyond.
