CV Information
A curriculum vitae (CV) is a document that outlines your entire academic history. It is the academic equivalent of a resume. Your CV should include contact information, education, research experience, teaching experience (if applicable), publications, and presentations. You may also want to list awards, professional affiliations, and community or university service. Ask your advisor or a mentor in your field for a copy of his/her CV as an example. You should also visit your institution’s writing center for help with content, style, and format. Before you upload your CV, please review it carefully!Helpful CV Resources
