    What are the steps for Ph.D.’s after graduation? Some will stay in academia and others will choose to leave the hallowed halls of OSU. We will talk with employers that frequently hire Ph.D.’s from OSU or other higher ed institutions and see what they are looking for in new employees. We will also get the perspective of current faculty members and how they have navigated staying in academia and what that has meant for their careers.
