10-11:30 a.m. Interactive Learning Center, Room 402. Workshop 2: Navigating the Application. Learning outcome: Identify important elements of a successful graduate school application and explore how you can communicate your qualifications and unique traits through a graduate school application. RSVP at secureforms.boisestate.edu/triossp/graduate-school-workshop-2-rsvp/. The Boise State University TRIO Rising Scholars Program, TRIO McNair Scholars Program, LSAMP Program, and Graduate College are teaming up to provide all students at Boise State University the information they need to prepare a successful graduate school application. This information will be available to students through a series of workshops that will begin in the Fall 2016 semester. Perhaps you are curious about what graduate school is, perhaps you’ve decided you want to someday apply, or perhaps your applications are due next month. If you find yourself in any of these situations, we can help you become a more successful applicant. As the result of these workshops, you will have a more comprehensive understanding of: what it means to pursue a graduate degree, why people choose to earn graduate degrees, what the components of the graduate application are and how they fit together, and what you can do with the time you have to become as successful as possible in your graduate school application process. We will help you think critically about the application process and market yourself to graduate school application committees in ways that showcase your unique qualities. You will also leave this workshop series being able to identify what you can do to build your skills and experiences in ways that make you a more attractive graduate school candidate. There are three total workshops, each of which build on the prior. The first workshop is on Sept. 15, and the third workshop is on Oct. 3.
