Graduate Pathways to Success

You probably have a plethora of academic and professional obligations as well as opportunities that you could engage in during your time in grad school. It can be challenging to decide how to prioritize or choose your engagements and projects when there are only so many hours in the day, week, or semester. 

How do you choose which opportunities to take advantage of? 

What does “succeeding” in and after grad school look like for you?

Are you setting yourself up to thrive in your intended career path after graduate school? Do you know that path? 

Join this interactive workshop to take charge of your journey in grad school, set your big-picture goals with intention, and build your personalized game plan. The session will help you to

  • Develop or enhance your academic plan for completing your graduate degree
  • Explore possibilities and design your career path
  • Build a road map for navigating the many opportunities available
  • Establish strategies for attaining your professional objectives

Note: this is an ONLINE session and there will be time for attendees to work on some of the tools and activities discussed in the session. If you're interested in the in-person interactive session, please register for the in-person session.
