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!
