SUMMARY:Aetna Student Health Insurance Information Session
DESCRIPTION:Are you a GSAS student who is currently enrolled in the Aetna insurance plan available for Fordham University students? Are you considering enrolling in the future? Do you have questions about your plan details\, but are struggling to decipher the language outlining your coverage? \nIf you answered “yes” to any of the above questions\, please attend an information session on the Aetna student insurance plan\, led by Maritza Rivera-Garcia\, Fordham’s health insurance compliance administrator. In this session\, Rivera-Garcia will provide an overview of the Aetna plan while responding to common questions from students about plan details.

SUMMARY:"Elevate Your Pitch" Workshop and Social
DESCRIPTION:The Graduate Student Association and GSAS Futures invite you to “elevate your pitch” in an evening workshop and social. Delivering an effective career pitch\, or an “elevator floor speech\,” that presents your research and work experience in a quick and compelling way is a vital part of performing well in job interview and networking settings. Crucial to interviewing well in any field\, mastering an effective career pitch is especially pertinent on the academic job market\, where your first interview could amount to a very brief affair at a conference in your discipline. \nGiven the opportunity\, how would you present your research and work experience to a colleague in your field? A non-specialist? Your grandma? \nThis event will help you to translate your work across audiences as you collaborate with peers to draft pitches appropriate for a range of conversations. \nAttendees will discuss when to use or leave behind specialist language depending on the needs of the moment while still conveying the substance of their research along with their unique set of skills and experiences. Come “elevate your pitch” in a light and friendly setting. \nYou’ll also have an opportunity to learn more about the upcoming GSAS Three Minute Thesis competition. Pizza and refreshments will be served!

SUMMARY:Managing Stereotype Threat on the Job Market
DESCRIPTION:Join GSAS Futures in conversation with Rufus E. Jones\, co-founder and president of the James Weldon Johnson Foundation. Jones will discuss a challenge endemic to many new candidates seeking jobs in academic and industry circles alike: stereotype threat. Candidates are often unaware of the capacity for stereotype threat to negatively impact their pursuit of professional success. Stereotype threat involves an individual undermining his or her own performance at a given task because of widespread beliefs that a social group with which he or she identifies—including groups organized by race\, gender\, nation\, or age—do not naturally perform well at that particular task. \nStereotype threat can breed anxiety and create conditions of self-sabotage in which job candidates struggle to perform well on interviews\, to negotiate contracts with new employers\, and to perform new jobs with competence and confidence. Feelings of discomfort may accompany settings where people feel there are few people like them. Nevertheless\, enhanced awareness and understanding of stereotype threat can greatly reduce its effects. \nJones will discuss his own journey as an individual of color who moved from Harvard to Wall Street to roles promoting education and the arts as a teacher\, administrator\, coach\, and fundraiser. Jones will discuss stereotype threat as he draws from his own experience as well as research he is co-facilitating with the James Weldon Johnson Foundation and a lab at New York University. He will discuss challenges that individuals may encounter as they pursue a range of professions and will offer practical coping strategies—including the use of interventions\, language\, and tactics to effectively handle various situations and mitigate the effects of stereotype threat to promote a job candidate’s success. \nLight refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:"Having It All" in Graduate School: Balancing Work and Family Life Historically and Today
DESCRIPTION:Join GSAS Futures for a discussion featuring Dr. Kirsten Swinth from the Department of History. Dr. Swinth will discuss the challenges which have faced working professionals as they have balanced building a career while raising a family from the 1970s through the present. America’s labor force has shifted to include more working mothers than ever before. This gender and economic transformation has remade parents’ roles and responsibilities and elicited ongoing discussion about managing the twin responsibilities of workplace and household labor\, for both women and men. \nDr. Swinth will draw from her forthcoming book “Having it All:” Feminist Struggles over Work and Family\, 1963 – 1978 (Harvard University Press\, 2018) to comment on this topic historically while connecting it to related challenges that affect working graduate students seeking to raise families today. \nCoffee and light refreshments will be served. For questions and to RSVP\, please contact gsasfutures@fordham.edu.
