Negotiating Graduate School

Abstract: Isn’t it strange that graduate school doesn’t come with a user’s manual? Or perhaps it’s just that, like most other user’s manuals, nobody has the time to read it. So how do you get the most out of grad school, whether at the Masters or PhD level, and emerge from the experience with your sanity (mostly) intact? This workshop will be a panel discussion / Q&A with panelists representing different levels from current grad student to faculty. We will give our best advice based on our own varied experiences and cheerfully attempt to answer any questions thrown our way.

The panel will consist of: Marina Chugunova (CGU Math faculty), Bhaven Mistry (CMC Math junior faculty, PhD from UCLA in 2019), Ryan O’Dowd (CGU Math PhD student), and Allon Percus (CGU Math faculty).
