I just wanted to let you know about a professional development opportunity for students interested in child and family studies. Apparently, Arizona State University is hosting a conference focused on professional development for undergraduate seniors interested in going into a research-oriented career. There's an application link, and if you are accepted, they pay for all your expenses (except for incidentals) and you attend a two and a half day conference designed to help you get into graduate school. It sounds like a great opportunity - check it out!
By the way, if you are interested in graduate school (in any area, really, not just child and family studies, and not just psychology) then please do talk to an advisor about how best to prepare yourself for graduate school! It's a competitive process, and it's good to start preparing well before graduation.
What if we are interested in going to a different university? Say, Lewis and Clark...should we contact an advisor there or at PSU? I used to go to ASU...can't go that far away now! We need things like this in Oregon! Keep searching for those of us stuck here Gabi! Thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteCome in to see me for advising! Every professor in the department is supposed to have 2 hours of advising hours a week. It's a great opportunity to get some good advice, but you have to be proactive about it.
ReplyDeleteIn any case, if you're interested in graduate school, definitely come by and let's chat. We can talk about how best to prepare yourself for graduate school and what makes a competitive application.
