Memorable Moments
“I am a current graduate student and have gone through this process, but your answers were so helpful and real. And there were great tips in the resume/CV section that will help me out too so I appreciated it! I'd love to continue this partnership.”
“You made everything so easy and accessible for our undergraduate student members. Grad applications can be a headache but you explained everything in a way that I think our members really understood.”
“The care and finesse with which questions and offerings were fielded and answered.”
“I'm a practitioner, but I couldn't stop thinking throughout the presentation how much I wish I had these resources when I was thinking of applying to grad school. The suggestions and information were GREAT, and the ladies presented perspectives that I never thought to consider when looking at grad programs.”
“I loved how engaging they were by asking participants questions”
“Great Information and authentic engagement.”
“Great session. Wonderful practice. Thought provoking.”
