NextUp — A career development panel for young professionals + students in agricultural and applied economics

The agricultural and applied economics profession is brimming with young talent preparing to lead the next wave of research projects, policy changes and innovation. In our ongoing effort to catalyze informed decision making, the Council on Food, Agricultural and Resource Economics (C-FARE) will host a professional development panel from 1 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. EDT July 22.

The aim of the event is to introduce young professionals and graduate — or graduating — students to the kinds of work done in a large government agency, a nonprofit industry advocacy group, a private government and regulatory affairs firm, and media and communications.

Moderating the panel is Dr. Gal Hochman, C-FARE Board Chair and a resource economist at Rutgers University. Joining him are four professionals.

After the panel, Hochman and the council will entreat the audience to join a round of virtual Capitol Hill visits later this summer to the offices of attendees’ own congressional representatives and senators. The council will work closely with volunteers to schedule the visits and prepare topics.

As always, the council welcomes input on this or any programming, BoardChair@cfare.org.

This program is supported in part by the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service and National Agricultural Statistics Service.
