PhD Pathways is an award-winning virtual mentor circle series that offers graduate students the opportunity to engage in meaningful dialogue with PhD alumni around diverse career trajectories. Explore previously recorded mentor circles below.
Whereas our primary objective is to connect graduate students with PhD alumni for career development purposes, another aim is that we intentionally design these experiences to be both accessible and inclusive as the program grows.”
