Event Description

We are very excited to invite you to a panel discussion with Rutgers STEM faculty from groups under-represented in the sciences. Come to hear their stories and learn from their experiences.

Panelists:

• Victoria Abraira, Assistant Professor, Cell Biology and Neuroscience, School of Arts & Sciences
• Kimberly Cook-Chennault, Associate Professor, Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, School of Engineering
• Joseph Freeman, Professor, Biomedical Engineering, School of Engineering
• Martha Soto, Associate Professor, Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, RBHS
• Maribel Vazquez, Professor, Biomedical Engineering, School of Engineering

Event Description

We will discuss how graduate school life has changed from last year and some of the challenges you may be facing, including how much you feel you are in control of your time and whether you have established good lines of communication with your PI and lab colleagues.

Event Description

As you enter the second semester, it is again time for personal reflection 

What were your expectations as you entered graduate school?  Have these expectations been met? If not, why not?  

Are you satisfied with your life/work balance? If not, what are you planning on changing?  

Did you find (your perfect) a good mentor/lab match?  If so, what attracts you to that mentor/lab? If not, what are you looking for that you did not find so far?  

What are your main goals for the second semester and how do your goals fit with your program's requirements? What are your plans and approach to achieving your goals? 

We looks forward to hearing your thoughts!
