Empower Your Doctoral Journey

Over the course of 4 weeks, we will meet in-person to discuss different topics. Each interactive session is about 90 minutes long, and you will get to meet doctoral students across campus while discussing similar experiences/challenges and building a community of support. 

All sessions will be in person with provided lunch at 2124 Conference Room Lee Building. ** For best learning outcome, participants are expected to attend all sessions if possible as the topics build on each other. 

• Unpacking "the Hidden Curriculum" and Setting Your Goals: Feb. 5
• Project Management: Feb. 12
• Finding Mentors and Cultivating Professional Relationships: Feb 19
• Time Management: Feb 26

This non-credit course and its content will be offered through the UMD Open Learning platform. The four topics build on each other which leads to the learning objectives. Participants who complete at least 3 out of 4 sessions (or 75%) will receive "completion" on their Open Learning learner transcript.
