I-STEM Building I, Room 1023 | 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM 

TRLS 3001 Chemistry At UGA - Navigating Nontraditional Careers in Chemistry: A Talk and Q&A with Shawn Desai 

Join us for an insightful, in-person talk and Q&A session with Shawn Desai, who has built a diverse 20+ year career across scientific, legal, and healthcare fields.

Holding both a PhD in Chemistry (Emory) and a JD (UGA), and certified as an NRCC medical laboratory director, Shawn is uniquely qualified to discuss less traditional career paths for chemists. He'll share his experiences in multiple scientific and healthcare-related consulting and entrepreneurial roles, offering valuable perspectives on leveraging a chemistry background outside of the lab.

PSYCHOLOGY

Baldwin Street lobby of the Psychology Building

UGA’s Franklin College psychology advisors will highlight transfer students by creating content for our social media platforms. #ugapsychology #fcasoaa @fc_osas 

Find us in the Baldwin Street lobby of the Psychology Building for your chance to discuss UGA, Athens, and the transfer experience.

Transfer Ambassadors will interview the UGA community about transferring to UGA and the psychology department. 

Because we will share the clips with PSYC Facebook, Franklin OSAS, and other interested parties, all participants must sign an image release form.

Please sign up for a 10-min. spot in the PSYC Advising Office.
