Negotiating your PhD Packet
Date:
March 6
Time: 12:00 pm-1:00 pm

Workshop Description: The many components of a PhD funding package can be tricky to understand. In this workshop, we'll break down what your offer letter contains, and discuss strategy and steps for negotiating your package with your top-choice program if you choose to do so. Please have copies of all offer letters available during the workshop. This workshop is timed so that you will have most letters in hand, but will not yet have said yes or no to programs (since you cannot negotiate if you've already done that).
