Graduating this year?

Check out our Series on Graduate School Applications! Alexis has experience  advising undergrads through the grad school application process and sat on a graduate school selection committee; she will run this series of workshops to help you create a strong application.

There are planned topics that include getting letters of recommendation and preparing a CV/resume, but there will also be dedicated time to write and share your application materials with peers.

The first workshop is on Wednesday, September 6. See Campus Groups events for more details.
