Grad School Boot Camp - Wednesday, October 17
This specialized crash course is your one stop VIP pass to reach all your grad school goals! Hosted by the FSU Career Center, this free boot camp event is specifically designed for undergraduate students looking to learn more about graduate or professional school. Stop by for one session, or stay the whole day!
This half-day conference will feature three 45-minute sessions—each with different presentations and guest speakers to choose from! Warm-up with the jam packed lunch and registration session, or wind-down with the expert training panel and resource fair; all of which will help you to sculpt your grad school application. The boot camp event will also strengthen your preparation for the FSU Career Center’s Graduate and Professional School Fairs, which will include the opportunity to meet with over 75 different graduate schools.
