PhD Journey – From Comps to Candidacy
Description: This session is intended for PhD students to help them understand two important milestones in their PhD journey – Comps and Candidacy. You will learn why students write Comps, at what stage of their PhD journey, how to prepare, how to successfully complete and defend them, and how to move from Comps to Candidacy (what does the process entail in terms of timeframe and requirements). The session will begin with input by Professor Metcalfe, which will be followed by a panel discussion by PhD candidates that Yotam Ronen will facilitate. The session will provide a great opportunity to understand these processes from a faculty as well as students’ perspectives.
Date and Time: Tuesday, December 7th at 12pm
Location: Ponderosa 1306A and on Zoom (hybrid)
Session facilitators: Professor Amy S. Metcalfe & Yotam Ronen Student panelists: Itamar Manoff & Addyson Frattura (PhD Candidates)
