Historically Underserved Doctoral Students: Connecting and Thriving in the Academy

Learning how to develop a network of peer academics from your discipline is an important skill for doctoral students and new faculty. In this conversation, Dr. Aurora Chang—Director of Faculty Development and Career Advancement in the Office of Faculty Affairs and Development and a coach for the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity—will lead a conversation about the importance of relationship building and networking in academic spaces.

HUDS provides a welcoming and safe space for students who don't always feel reflected or supported on campus or have faced or experienced social, economic, and historical challenges. The mission of the group is to bring doctoral and MFA students together and promote a sense of community through resource and information sharing and access to mentorship and networks that positively impact educational and career outcomes.
