What We Believe And Support
A fearless grad is someone who chooses to go to graduate school on their terms.
They know they have more to offer the world than their current role.
They know why the PhD serves their life goals and are willing to commit 100%.
A fearless grad knows they bring value to the university, not the other way around.
A fearless grad is free from self-doubt, sabotage and “I cant’s”.
They know they are capable of changing the world and can’t wait to learn and grow during their PhD to become leaders and changemakers.
