March 16th, 6:00-7:30pm: Grad School Panel Part 2: Advice for BIPOC Women
Successfully applying for and completing grad school is challenging. Among the challenges are navigating the often-unspoken rules and norms of how to be an ideal candidate and student. When you add racism and sexism, both implicit and explicit, to the mix it’s even harder. Join us for our panel, and learn from the journeys and advice of women of color who are professors, practicing professionals, and students in academia, law, counseling, and medicine.
