Are you interested in applying to graduate school? Wondering about how grad school funding packages work? Do you have an application on the go? Are you just curious what graduate school is like? Join us for our grad school application workshop where we will talk about our experience in grad school and the application process. We will get into specifics on what materials are typically required for applications, tips for building relationships with faculty who can be potential referees, how to ask faculty for reference letters, and we will discuss what makes a good letter of intent. Feel free to bring any graduate school application materials you may be currently working on – such as CVs, letters of intent, personal statements – we can help you workshop them!
Registration is not required, all are welcome.
Snacks will be provided.
