Testimonials

The DivE In weekend program is a tremendous opportunity for underserved students like myself who want to learn about their academic and career goals. I know the speakers, organizers, and faculty have done an excellent job in inspiring me to work on my strengths for the application process.

- Nicole B.

This weekend was extremely helpful. I’m going to be a first-generation Ph.D. and didn’t know much about the process. I also like that your mentor remains your mentor. It’s not just for the weekend. These are connections that will likely be lifelong. It was amazing. Please continue!

- Tiffany S.

This is incredible program to get to know if you really want to go to grad school. You get to know many students and mentors that can support you in your future career.

- Yoda A.

The DivE In program significantly enhanced my understanding of the Ph.D. application process. Additionally, networking with professors and graduate students who respected my non-traditional background gave me a newfound confidence in my ability to succeed as a future academic researcher.

- Kiyan I.

After talking to professors and current Ph.D.s and postdocs, it became more clear to me what my research interests will be for my Ph.D. study. With all the information and mentorship provided in the workshops, Ph.D. application as well as the next five-plus years feel less intimidating. I feel very supported and nourished.

- Ting Ting R.

This weekend really opened my eyes to the graduate school process. I came into this weekend really frightful and doubtful of whether I should really apply because I felt unprepared and had no one to reach out for guidance or assistance and after this weekend, I have received so much more information that has increased my confidence and made me feel better about the path I am choosing.

- Precious R.

DivE In was an incredible experience that exceeded all of my expectations! I made so many great connections not only with grad students and faculty but also with an amazing group of peers I wouldn’t have otherwise had the chance to connect with. I learned so much about the ins and outs of academia and feel a lot more confident applying to Ph.D. programs this cycle. I highly recommend this to anyone considering graduate school!! Such a memorable weekend with incredible people!

- Carlos M.

I was blown away by the hard work and dedication that everyone put into making this weekend pleasurable as well as knowledgeable.

- Amaya C.

DivE In weekend is a great experience to network with mentors and peers. I recommend to anyone who might want more information about graduate studies and even people who are already familiar with the processes.
