Becoming a Grad Student
When researching and applying for graduate school and other professional programs, it can be easy to get lost in the details like required prerequisites, GPA's and test scores and this can lead students down the path of narrowly defining themselves. As a result, they may forgo opportunities that honor their whole selves or miss chances to demonstrate all of their talents and strengths. Grad school isn't just about academic excellence; it's a journey that requires emotional resilience, social skills, and a balanced lifestyle. In this episode, we will talk with two campus experts, Dr. Tiffany Akins and Chair Sondra Reynalds, who review grad school applications and understand the importance of developing the whole student. They will walk us through practical tips to help you become a well-rounded individual ready to tackle the challenges and opportunities of graduate education.
