This resource book consists of ten chapters written by sixteen
graduate student authors and two academic professional staff
members. Each chapter is accompanied by a short video that
dramatizes the theme along with probing discussion questions. The
chapter topics include seeking funding, the challenges of the first
year of graduate school, finding a thesis advisor, working with
thesis committee members, balancing family and graduate student
life, and life after graduate school.Where these subjects have been
treated in an academic style many times, this book conveys its
message through personal narratives of the challenging
circumstances its graduate student authors encountered and solved.
It does not give its readers long lists of statistics about
graduation rates or most advantageous actions for best outcomes.
What it does instead is provide readers with a vivid sense of the
types of life experiences one can expect to encounter when
undertaking a graduate degree and the opportunity to discuss these
real-life issues with others.The book was started and developed as
a project under the Midwest Crossroads Alliance for Graduate
Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) and completed as part of the
professional development activities under the Committee on
Institutional Cooperation (CIC) AGEP.
