Foundations Series

Introduction

The PhD Plus Foundations series is best suited for graduate students in their first or second year. However, all graduate students are invited to attend these interactive sessions. This series provides an opportunity to develop interdisciplinary peer communities and to gain fundamental skills for academic, career, and personal success, and guides students to make the most of their graduate school experience. 

Upon successful completion (80%, or 4 out of 5 sessions) of this series, graduate students are eligible to earn a digital badge, issued by the PhD Plus Program through Credly, that demonstrates proof of completion of the program.

Foundations will be offered in Summer 2025.
