"The participants are extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and giving with their time and advice. Every resource, from the discussion forum to the career panels to the PhD Career Finder serves to propel one forward on their career path."
"The sea change for me was a panel of post PhDs who came back to speak about their experiences leaving: how, why, outcome. Hearing their experiences made me realize that there was hope, and that I could find a life outside."
