What prompted you to do this event? Were/are you on the fence about grad school?

Haskinselena·Jun 21, 2021

Whoops! Sorry I missed this. I've actually never considered grad school, but many of my friends have. I host various events and share resources to support people in life after undergrad and this seemed like a topic that needed to talked about haha @iynna

Hello! Curious if you all will do a similar event to this anytime soon?

Hey @MollyHallahan - Unfortunately not - all my programming now revolves around UX design. But I can try to connect you with my guest speaker from this event if you have any questions about grad school or if you're still trying to decide. Here's an article he made in conjunction with the event: https://www.convergeguide.com/post/so-you-want-to-go-to-grad-school-the-ultimate-checklist
