CMD-IT Events Center

Join Elise deGoede Dorough, Director of Graduate Student Services, and Les Sessoms, Recruitment & Retention Specialist for Graduate Programs, from the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington, for an insightful webinar on supporting inclusion in doctoral recruitment. Not all prospective students have the social capital and connections to understand how to compile a competitive application to doctoral programs. In 2020, The Computer Science & Engineering Ph.D. program at the University of Washington launched a student-led and staff-supported pre-application mentoring program targeted to support prospective students who may not have access to their own local mentor in their current academic setting, peer network, and/or family.

The Early Career Doctoral Students Academic Careers Workshop (EC-ACW) targets students who are in the process of completing their first or second or third year of the doctoral program with the goal of exposing the students to academic careers.
