In the era of decreasing budgets yet increasing pressure to lower time-to-degree, summers–and how best to utilize them–are a vital part of a graduate student’s life. Join us for a roundtable discussion about how to best gain a variety of different experiences (alt-ac, publishing, internships/externships, etc.), make academic and professional progress, and how sports can be used to build relationships across cohorts and lower your stress. Our distinguished panelists include current graduate students, recent graduates, as well as faculty, and we encourage both students and faculty to attend.
