Graduate Student Workshop:

"Finishing Your Degree: A Practical and Personal Guide to Young Christian Scholars"

Many young Christian scholars crave input from a person "just ahead" of them. How does one navigate the road to an advanced degree with its sometimes obscure road signs, conflicting directions, and quagmire of hidden agendas? What unique challenges attend doing scholarship from a Christian point of view? This practical and personal workshop features scholars from a broad range of academic fields with advice for working through the academic process. A senior scholar, joined by others who have recently “survived” the ordeal, offer helpful insights from a faculty perspective.
