- 1:00pm (1h) • Anderson Hall 121; For more information or to register, see Handshake
This focused workshop provides seniors and recent graduates with a clear, step-by-step framework to navigate the graduate school application process and craft a compelling narrative. Designed specifically for applicants who are ready to apply, you will learn how to articulate your core motivations, pinpoint authentic themes for your personal statement, and uncover stories that effectively answer common application prompts.
Participants will engage in guided reflective exercises to complete early application drafts and determine appropriate timelines for submitting their applications.
Note: This workshop will not review types of degrees or how to explore programs. Students who do not plan to apply during the 26/27 application cycle are encouraged to attend the Exploring Graduate School workshop offered during the spring semester OR schedule an appointment with a Career Coach.
