Negotiating Grad School

Abstract: You are in graduate school...now what? What should you expect when it comes to qualifying exams, finding an advisor, and writing a thesis? What about those often unmentioned parts of graduate school like networking, asking for support both financially and emotionally, finding a good work-life balance, and preparing to graduate? In this workshop, we will discuss these topics, touching on diverse graduate school experiences. This workshop is for everyone, from those who are just starting out as graduate students to faculty members who may be mentoring students.
