“Exceptional peer feedback and collaboration. I loved how eager and involved all the students were in helping each other figure things out. I feel incredibly lucky that the Workshop brought together stellar students from various epidemiology programs across the country, and we all really thought through problems collectively. That was a very special experience. It was also very clear that the faculty were deeply committed to making sure we got the most out of the Workshop. I am happy that I made valuable connections. I am super grateful that students were so generous in offering helpful papers and code for my study to me during my session. The environment felt truly supportive for sharing work.“
“One of the particular strengths of this Dissertation Workshop was how intentional it was in creating a supportive space for both feedback and connection. It didn’t feel like just a series of presentations. It felt like a community of scholars genuinely interested in helping each other grow. The feedback was constructive, specific, and offered in a way that pushed our thinking without shutting us down. I also appreciated how much space there was for emerging ideas, not just polished ones. That’s rare. The structure allowed time for meaningful conversation, and the facilitators set a tone that made it easy to ask questions, share uncertainties, and really listen to one another.“
I really appreciated the format of the presentations and discussion. Speaking about my dissertation in a short amount of time with just 4 slides was great public speaking practice. Additionally, I was surprised at how effective such a short amount of time is for an engaging discussion. In addition to that great skill, I really appreciated how engaged both the students and faculty were. Having a designated student and faculty attendee review our proposals to get the discussion started really breaks the ice, allowing for a fruitful discussion. Lastly, a major strength of this workshop was the diversity of student projects and faculty expertise. It’s one of the few opportunities I’ve had to discuss my project in depth outside of my institution and committee. The faculty were also quite nice. My favorite part was learning so much about other cool things students were doing. Lots of overlap in methods! Overall, this was a wonderful experience. I am very appreciative and grateful that I was selected for this opportunity.
