Are you interested in graduate school ? Have questions about what that entails in CS?
Register for this event happening on Nov 6 co-organized by Dr. Johnson: here
This event was designed with the observation that many students do not consider an advanced degree in computing because they believe academia is not for them.
Through this event we will discuss PhD training as work: we will discuss pay, benefits, and norms. We advocate that students view the PhD as an apprenticeship and highlight the variety of career paths that the PhD opens up. We emphasize that the priority for students and faculty alike will be finding a healthy working relationship between the two parties. Finally, in recognition of the fact that the PhD application process can be daunting, especially when students face inordinate stress and uncertainty, we aim to smooth the path for them.
