Event Highlights of 2024
Paths to Ph.D. Programs in the Biosciences – A 4-week seminar series was held in October 2024 that prepared the next generation of diverse biomedical researchers to apply to graduate schools. Stay tuned for registration information for 2025 series! By the conclusion of the series, participants crafted and refined their Personal & Research Statements through close collaboration with UPenn Ph.D. students and postdocs, incorporating feedback to improve the final outcome of their statements.
