This workshop is geared toward HR doctoral students in the middle of their program. The goal of this workshop is to help these students navigate the collection of career issues that begin to emerge when students are about halfway through a doctoral program. In many PhD programs, the middle stage is critical point. Students are expected to begin the transition into independent scholars, start building professional networks, move beyond the structure of courses and exams, and develop skills as an instructor. The workshop topics are designed to help these students develop the knowledge and skills required to be successful at this ambiguous middle- stage and continue their development into strong researchers and teachers. It is also a way for HR doctoral students to build connections with others and become more involved in the HR Division.
