Whether you are looking for an academic or non-academic job, professionalism is important. This presentation focuses on two key themes of professionalism, 1) how we dress and present ourselves, and 2) verbal and non-verbal communication. This panel is tailored for graduate students, recent graduates, and job seekers about strategies to look, act, and be prepared for networking events, in a job interview, and in professional situations. The panelists draw on illustrations, personal experiences, and tried strategies to support you on your journey in the working world.

Que vous soyez à la recherche d’un emploi dans le milieu universitaire ou pas, il importe de toujours faire preuve de professionnalisme. Parmi les éléments structurants du professionnalisme, deux seront abordés lors de cette présentation : 1) la façon de s’habiller et de se présenter, et 2) la communication verbale et non-verbale. Ce débat d’experts est destiné aux étudiants des cycles supérieurs, récents diplômés et demandeurs d’emploi qui souhaitent en savoir plus sur les stratégies en matière d’apparence, de comportements et de préparation au cours d’événements de réseautage, pendant une entrevue d’embauche et en milieu professionnel. Les experts auront recours à des exemples concrets, des expériences personnelles, et des stratégies éprouvées pour vous aider à tracer votre chemin dans l’univers du travail.

Recent innovations and applications within the science of dendrochronology have explored a widening range of questions. Innovative field applications and collaborations, novel methodologies, and advanced analytical approaches are collectively enhancing the outcomes of tree-ring research. On behalf of the Canadian Dendrochronology Research Group we invite presentations that will present and discuss new discoveries and approaches across the breadth of tree-ring science. The scope of the session is intended to include all fields of dendrochronology and its application in archaeology, climatology, geomorphology, glaciology, fire history, forest dynamics, hydrology and physiology, including the use of stable isotopes. We especially encourage the attendance of Canadian researchers and students interested in exchanging ideas and strengthening collaborations.
