The PhD Plus Foundations series is best suited for PhD students in first and second year, and Postdoctoral Scholars at early stages of training. However, all PhD students and Postdocs are invited to attend these interactive sessions. This core module provides an opportunity to develop interdisciplinary peer communities and gain fundamental skills for holistic development and wellness, and guides trainees to design their optimal doctoral and postdoctoral experience.
Foundations is offered every Fall and Spring. Upon successful completion (80%, or 4 sessions) of this series, PhD students are eligible for a non-credit credential on their academic transcript (at no cost to students).
