MAIN SESSIONS
The Blueprint: Grad School Admissions 101
The graduate school admissions process can be both exciting and challenging, especially for students from diverse backgrounds who may face systemic hurdles. This comprehensive workshop is designed to empower college students from underrepresented communities with the knowledge, tools, and strategies needed to successfully navigate the graduate school admissions process. Through a series of interactive activities, students will gain valuable insights into the application process, develop effective application materials, and build the confidence to pursue advanced degrees in their chosen fields.
Mapping Your Journey to Graduate School: Building a Personalized Timeline for Success
Embarking on the path to graduate school is an exciting but multifaceted journey, and each student's timeline can differ based on their unique circumstances. This interactive workshop aims to empower college students aspiring for graduate education by helping them create a personalized roadmap for the application process. Whether participants are in the early stages of exploration or nearing the application deadline, this session will guide them in building a well-structured timeline that aligns with their goals, maximizes their chances of acceptance, and ensures a smooth and successful transition to advanced studies.
