Any academic and professional space is intimidating for most first-gen students and professionals. Usually it's because we don't know what we don't know. Demystifying the graduate experience is an active practice of self-advocacy. Come learn about effective strategies in proactive learning and resource building. Grad School doesn't have a how-to book but you can be empowered to make your experience less stressful and more aligned with your values and priorities.
