BROWN BAG LUNCH DISCUSSIONS

FOR MINORITY GRADUATE STUDENTS

GradDays brown bag lunch discussions were introduced two years ago and have been wildly successful!  These informal discussions will take place over lunch and provide a forum where graduate students can talk to faculty or professionals about issues facing different minority populations in graduate school and on the job market.  This will serve as a way of connecting individuals for support as well as providing knowledge of the resources available.

WEDNESDAY, 3/25: LUNCH WORKSHOP FOR FEMALE GRADUATE STUDENTS- AN INFORMAL DISCUSSION WITH INFORMED FACULTY and Professionals

11:30 AM-1 PM, Newcomb Hall Gallery

Women continue to be under-represented in higher education. As a result, many female graduate students do not have access to mentors within their own department who can speak to their questions and concerns. Come hear from faculty and professionals who have gone through it - graduate school, the job market, and the promotion process. Panelists will share their insights and take your questions. Lunch will be served.
