CMS alumni panel: On the virtues of preparing students for jobs that don't yet exist

Informações:

Synopsis

"Each spring, the CMS side of CMSW catapults ten more master’s program graduates into the world. And each fall, we invite a bunch back to talk with prospectives. Of the five grads we feature in this podcast, four stayed close. In fact two helped start research groups in our department. And another two skipped to other parts of campus. One joined a Ph.D. program a few buildings down, and another kicked off the Media Lab’s new digital currency initiative. Margaret Weigel, '02 and one of our earliest graduates, works in digital education. 2007’s Dan Roy, the only panelist you didn’t hear, develops games for learning. Ilya Vedrashko, ‘06, works in data-driven consumer research. Erik Stayton, 2015, is a Ph.D. candidate in MIT’s program in History, Anthropology, Science, Technology and Society. And Chelsea Barabas, also 2015, is the newly minted advisor to the MIT Media Lab’s Digital Currency Initiative."
