Workshops

A Grants and Fellowships Workshop is offered during the fall semester.  This workshop provides valuable advice on how to prepare a strong application and also informs students on various grants and/or applications that are available each year.

A Qualifying Examination Workshop is offered during the fall semester. Second-year students will be required to attend a Qualifying Examination Workshop led by the ADGS. Normally scheduled in late fall, these workshops offer an overview of the exam process and provide a loose structure within which students may come together to form small, self-directed study groups to help in preparing for the Qualifying Examination. 

A Dissertation Proposal Workshop is offered In late May or early June. Following the completion of the Qualifying Examination, third year students are required to attend a Dissertation Proposal Writing Workshop led by the ADGS. This workshop will outline the process of writing a dissertation proposal and provide an overview of benchmarks for satisfactory progression on the dissertation. (See below for more information about the proposal writing process.)
