It is never too early to start thinking about and planning for your future career. The pursuit of a graduate degree affords you the opportunity to gain important knowledge in your area of expertise, but it can also be a time when you develop powerful skills in teaching, leadership, communication, and other skills that will enhance your ability to be successful in any career or field.
In this session, we will highlight some of the programs and opportunities that are available to you as an MSU graduate student and introduce you to a framework to help you think about how to identify your career goals and design your graduate experience so that you can achieve them.
Presented by Associate Dean Rique Campa, Dr. Julie Rojewski-Wilson, and Dr. Stefanie Baier.
This session is in person only.
Registration is open. This session is limited to 45 attendees.

The MSU AGEP Program is conducting a workshop series that will present NSF GRFP program information and provide structured practice to create competitive GRFP application. The MSU workshop is based on similar workshops at other universities that have resulted in an increase in the number of successful GRFP applications. In the MSU workshop, STEM undergraduate and graduate students will participate in a 5-part series that will include an overview of the GRFP and application process, first-hand advice from GRFP reviewers and recent awardees, and two interactive sessions to review and revise their application documents. The workshop will also provide a timeline and guidance for requesting recommendation letters. In addition to preparing a more competitive GRFP application, workshop participants will gain experience drafting a research outline and conveying their research to broad audiences.
The fourth and fifth workshops will be an opportunity for workshop participants get feedback on their research statement and personal statements from fellow participants. Workshop facilitators will start each session with an overview of how to review an application and reminders of the review criteria. Workshop participants will then be free to review and provide feedback to each other. These sessions will not be live-streamed.
