Enhanced travel funding for students
The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences recently announced expanded support for students participating in scholarly conferences. The Whitney and Betty MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies has committed $120,000 annually for PhD students in the humanities and social sciences to attend meetings in the US or abroad as presenters, session chairs, or discussants speaking on an international topic. For PhD students working on non-international topics, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences dean’s office has announced it will match the funds provided by the Graduate School for a total of $120,000 annually, which will be dispersed through the Graduate Student Assembly Conference Travel Fellowship.
Annual events offer competition and mentoring
The McDougal Graduate Student Center will sponsor the second annual 3-Minute Thesis competition in April, challenging participants to explain their dissertation research clearly and compellingly to a broad audience in three minutes or less. Preliminary rounds begin on April 6; championship round is on April 20.
On Saturday, April 21, the Yale Graduate School Alumni Association will hold its annual mentoring workshop, “Where Do I Go From Yale?,” which will showcase the variety of career paths taken by graduate school alumni, and help current students focus on turning their PhDs into meaningful careers.
