Be a Part of the Global Initiative
The Graduate School, with assistance from University Communications, has developed a brand new interactive mapping website/video archive for all FSU degree-seeking or professional graduate students, alumni, postdoctoral scholars, and even faculty called GradWorld FSU.
GradWorld FSU is a revolutionary new website that displays a variety of personalized videos from a number of departments/colleges on campus for the purpose of showcasing graduate education and achievements at FSU. This is an extraordinary opportunity for everyone around the world to see your passion, interests, research goals and learn more about our wonderful university.
What Are The Benefits To This Professional Development Opportunity?
In today's competitive job market, crafting a short, 3-minute video could be the deciding factor that helps you shine and land your dream job! It's true, not only do video productions unlock your creative side, but they also show employers that you are a determined, motivated, and highly engaged individual who wants to make a difference. This professional development opportunity provides you with an exceptional chance to showcase your personality, research, skills, and passion which will inevitably cement a memory that you will be able to share with your family and friends.
Self-Filming Video Recording Option
*If you speak a language in addition to English, we strongly encourage you to complete and submit two versions of your video; one version in English and a duplicate version in your native or secondary language. This allows everyone in the world to enjoy your video, including those who may not be fluent in English.
