After a semester in graduate school, it is important to reflect on what you have learned so far and what your goals are for the future.  This workshop's presentation will focus on celebrating successes and using the topics from previous workshops going forward. This workshop is for first-year graduate students.  As always, time for networking and refreshments is included.  This student-run series is funded by a grant from the IGB Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiative.  To sign up for our mailing list, please visit https://forms.illinois.edu/sec/398930130 and watch your email for the announcement.
