Events

One of the major milestones of most programs will be the comprehensive or qualifying exams. Students will often feel unsure, especially at the beginning of their program, what to expect from this evaluation of their progress. Join us to learn about what the experience involves, how to plan and what questions to ask your supervisor as you learn more about this important milestone.

Join fellow grad students who parent as we discuss navigating competing priorities of academic work and family life. Panelists will share their own journeys, provide examples of how they’ve navigated graduate school while parenting, and add in a few tips, tricks and ideas for gracefully managing the joys of being a caregiver while tackling academic life!  There will be an opportunity to meet other students who parent through breakout rooms and post-panel questions.  

Receive advice and feedback on your CV, lay abstract, and/or research proposal from faculty members and postdoctoral scholars. Students at any stage in the Tri-Agency scholarship application process are welcome to join.
