Why share your story?
UCSF's Office of Career and Professional Development is celebrating 25 years of helping students and postdocs prepare for their careers! To mark this milestone, we're inviting alumni, senior students, and postdoctoral scholars to celebrate what they have achieved by sharing the experiences, decisions, and relationships that helped shape their career journeys.

"Hearing from someone who has walked a similar path made all the difference in my confidence and clarity about my future."
