In this seminar we will hear from a number of people who are IAD alumni and/or are currently working on issues of agricultural development. They will share their stories and answer questions so that new students can get a better idea of what is out there in terms of careers and what path they should take at UC Davis to get there. Specifically, you can plan out which IAD specialization and which courses will help you achieve your career objective and network with the alumni. Here is the schedule of speakers, subject to some changes.
