Event Details:
Having a doctoral degree opens many doors, with career options as college/university faculty, researchers, and/or educational leaders.

It is helpful to be self-directed and intentional in identifying and developing skills most relevant for your pathway.
The Individualized Development Plan (IDP) process is useful for doctoral students and their advisors by providing:

Doctoral students at all phase of the program are welcome, including:
