From the Editor: Summer 2008

Far and away the best prize that life offers
is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.
--Theodore Roosevelt

Welcome to another issue of The Berkeley Graduate.

This issue is focused on work and our relationship with it. We lucked out to have a great essay about figuring out whether graduate work is really what you want to be doing. We’ve also got articles across the spectrum: from taking your work away--via research abroad--to bringing your work home by researching your own community. We also wanted to cover what you cannot take with you and so we have some information about the intellectual property office, but to bring to light some other resources, we also have some information about planning for after work and the careers office here on campus. We love being able to tell you about opportunities and think it should be a good read. That is ever the hope.

We are still working on establishing our web-presence where the archive and some new exclusive content will be posted: we have some great audio and video from interviews with professors, university staff, and even speakers and performers from some of the recent conferences and events that have been on campus that you may have missed. Check out the Graduate Assembly’s page for updates on our status at
ga.berkeley.edu
(or at facebook.com by searching for “berkeley graduate”).

If you’d like to participate in the publication of The Berkeley Graduate in the future, shoot us an email at berkeleygraduate@ga.berkeley.edu.

As always, best wishes and keep reading!
