<h2>Paths to PhDs </h2>
<h3><i>Helping diverse students learn about graduate opportunities in psychology, neuroscience, and related fields</i></h3>
<p>Graduate school should not be just for the privileged few. If one is interested in pursuing a research career, is intelligent, and willing to work hard, then a graduate education should be within reach. However, far too many undergraduates -- particularly those from minority backgrounds and those who are the first in the families to go to college -- are unaware of higher education opportunities, or find it hard to see themselves attaining a graduate degree. To address this issue in the San Diego area, I have organized the Paths to PhDs panel workshop series at UCSD for the past two years. At each event, a panel of five or six graduate students from different areas of psychology/neuroscience research discuss and answer questions on topics such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Why did you decide to go to graduate school?</li>
<li>Did your family support your decision to go to graduate school?</li>
<li>Is your chosen profession in alignment with the expectations of your cultural background?</li>
<li>Did you have research experience, and what kind of experience was that?</li>
<li>Did you take a break between undergrad and grad school? How did you manage finances at that time?</li>
<li>How did you pick which programs to apply for?</li>
<li>How did you prepare for the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or other required tests?</li>
<li>What was the interview experience like?</li>
<li>...and many more considerations.</li>
<!--
</ul>
<p> Paths to PhDs is generously sponsored by UCSD Psychology’s Diversity Committee and <a href="http://ccc.ucsd.edu/Cross">UCSD’s Cultural Center</a>, which itself is supported by the university’s <a href="http://diversity.ucsd.edu/">Office for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion</a>. Each event, which typically takes place in Price Center, is announced in the campus <a href="http://studentevents.ucsd.edu/">Student Events Insider</a>, in diversity organization newsletters, as at nearby universities (e.g., SDSU, USD, CSUSM). </p>
<!--<h4>Here are some testimonials from past attendees:</h4>
<ul>
<li><!--“I liked the honesty the panelists expressed about their process to get to grad school, it was reassuring to hear how not all of them went directly after college to a graduate program. It was definitely scary to hear the level of difficulty to be admitted to a graduate program and the experience needed, but it was something that it definitely worth knowing, so it was very much appreciated.” </li>
<li><!--“I really appreciated the discussion about what would make our applications better or give us more experience for graduate school, both of which helped a lot.” </li>
<li><!--“What I liked most about the panel was the variety of fields represented and that the panelists were very willing to answer questions honestly.”</li>
</ul>
