Abstract

Information technologies are changing at an exponential rate, and the careers of those of us who work in this field rise and fall more quickly than planned or imagined. Nevertheless, "career management" is not an oxymoron. Success and happiness are rarely achieved by chance. In this session you will think about your career in new ways as you work with your peers and faculty mentor to develop your own professional development plan. Career management needs to become a proactive part of our job descriptions—not a description of something that happens to us in our jobs!
