The Emerging Scholars in Communication Program is a 4-week workshop series that aims to expand understanding of, and access to graduate education for students from underrepresented groups. Throughout this series, students will explore the what, why, and how of pursuing a PhD in Communication, learning from current graduate students and faculty about what graduate school entails, key elements of a strong application, and other considerations that could help inform students’ conception of what opportunities might be available to them after graduating. This program is intended both for students who may already be considering the possibility of pursuing graduate education, as well as for those who may not yet have the possibility of graduate school on their radar.
While the application for this program is currently open for submissions until January 10th, 2025, we also recognize that students may want to learn more about this opportunity before submitting an application. We are planning an Information Session for Wednesday, October 23rd at 4:00pm on Zoom. This session will provide an overview of the program and give students a chance to ask any questions.
