Some Thoughts on the Modern PhD Experience
In a special edition of the student seminar series, we will be talking about the graduate student experience and being in a PhD program in 2017. The discussion will be centered around the National Graduate Survey conducted by Nature which explored career development and PhD program satisfaction of grad students internationally. The discussion will also touch on some current events in the news pertaining to graduate students. Relevant initiatives being pursued at the GSC, Department, and University level will be highlighted. We hope for this to open up to a conversation about people’s experiences and views.
