Comments from Past GDO Doctoral Consortium Participants:
“This session helped me think through some important
decisions I need to make – it helped me feel sure that I am
going to find an academic home and that I will find a way to
contribute.”
“I am taking away the importance of following my passions in
terms of research topics, career trajectory, and preferences for
work/life balance.”
“I learned that it’s okay to fail, as long as you keep trying to
be a success.”
“I learned about everything from service to research, job
obtainment to teaching strategies and beyond.”
