The CUNY Graduate Center is hosting a “Careers in Entrepreneurship” panel that features GC alumni who have built their own non-profit organization, for-profit company, consultancy, or freelance business. The objective is to demonstrate how PhD skills can be transferred successfully to non-academic environments. Within this framework, Red T will introduce current students to its global advocacy work and its various initiatives. Specifically, we will describe how the Red T vision, which was first laid out in our founder’s dissertation, was transformed into a vibrant all-volunteer non-profit organization for the protection of translators and interpreters in high-risk settings.

A special thanks to Dr. Jennifer S. Furlong, Director, Office of Career Planning and Professional Development, for including Red T in this panel.
