Survive and Advance with Confidence: Navigating the Ph.D. Labyrinth

A PhD is more than just getting three letters behind your name. It is a journey where you are learning more about yourself as you become an expert in your chosen field of study. However, no two PhD journeys are the same. From Year 1 to Year 5, there will be many crossroads one will encounter before reaching the finish line. Each crossroad may leave you asking: “Is the PhD right for me?” Such a question is common among individuals pursuing the ultimate advanced degree. In this workshop, we will walk through the PhD journey from start to finish. How do you tackle each year of your program? How you negotiate difficult advisors? What do you do when you begin to feel the “PhD Fatigue”? How do you leverage your PhD experience in developing the next phase of your career? The nuts and bolts to tackling a PhD will be the same across the board, but the end result will depend on YOU. This interactive workshop will give you the chance to think about what you need to do in order to be successful and advance to the next level...with confidence!
