Past Events

Meet individually or in small groups with the following first-generation advanced degree alumni.

Any academic and professional space is intimidating for most first-gen students and professionals. Usually it's because we don't know what we don't know. Demystifying the graduate experience is an active practice of self-advocacy. Come learn about effective strategies in proactive learning and resource building. Grad School doesn't have a how-to book but you can be empowered to make your experience less stressful and more aligned with your values and priorities.

Join us for an hour long discussion on the topic of building mutually beneficial relationships with professional across a broad range of careers and fields.
