• The Women's Career Advancement Symposium was created as a direct result of UCSF female students and alumni asking OCPD for more help with questions around strategic positioning, confident communication and negotiation. As we recognize that everyone can benefit from learning more about these professional skills and strategies all UCSF students, postdocs and alumni of any gender identity are warmly invited to participate in the symposium.
