**Extra session added** This Duke Libraries workshop, appealing to graduate students across disciplines, provides a gentle introduction and overview to key principles and concepts in project management and how they can be applied effectively in academic work.

As part of a series of short, focused conversations with PhD and postdoc alumni who successfully navigated the academic job market during the pandemic, we'll feature Ajenai Clemmons, Ph.D. '21, Assistant Professor of Public Policy at the Scrivner Institute of Public Policy, the Josef Korbel School of International Relations at the University of Denver.

Because networking opportunities can arise at any moment, it’s important to be ready to introduce yourself, your work, and your interests. An elevator pitch is quick and clear personal introduction, making you more memorable to contacts. In this workshop, led by Greg Victory, Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs and Executive Director of the Duke Career Center, you will learn what contributes to a successful elevator pitch and will have the opportunity develop your own pitch.
