The Division D Graduate Student Seminar will provide an extended opportunity for graduate students to interact with distinguished researchers on topics
related to completing their degrees and moving into the job market, along with the knowledge and skills that will be needed for success in areas of methodological research, application, and assessment in the future. Panelists will also be reading their own
letters to their “professional younger selves” to reflect their advice to those beginning a career in this field, what they wish they would have known, the reassuring words that would have been helpful, and the unexpected occurrences that they could have better
planned for (or not). The panelists' experience spans academic and applied settings, diverse methodological specialties, and various points in their career trajectories.
The session will begin with a continental breakfast and include both large group discussions and focused small group roundtables.
