Hear from our scholars
“The best part, for me, was meeting both students in a similar position as myself (curious about attending a post-grad program but unsure about the process), as well as those who have recently gone through the application process and are now enrolled. Most information I have received regarding post-graduate programs were from my professors, which, while helpful, was not completely applicable in the ever-changing environment of higher education, so hearing the perspective of somebody currently enrolled was incredibly valuable."
"I liked meeting other students and the mentors in the breakout room. It was good to ask my burning questions to the mentors and to hear what other students' perspectives on graduate school were."
"Thank you very much for this opportunity! I enjoyed it thoroughly."
