Prior to the start of the new academic year, the Office of Graduate Fellowships and Awards hosted a Grad School Bootcamp for a group of McNair/TRIO Scholars from the University of Florida, the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss), Tougaloo College, Alcorn State University, and our very own Florida State University CARE SSS SCOPE and SSS STEM Programs.
Thank you to the Graduate School faculty and staff (Dr. Debi Fadool, Jermaine Williams, Katrina Williams, and Ashley Jarvis), graduate peer mentors, and CARE staff (Roxanne Simpson, Dr. Campos, and Jacourie Clark) for making this event a tremendous success. The graduate peer mentors (see picture below) talked about their program of study and graduate school experiences during the “Day in the Life of a Grad Student” panel and Speed Networking session and created an inviting space for all participants to get to know each other during the Collaborating with Strangers icebreaker.
