The New PhD: How to Build a Better Graduate Education
From February 6-8, the Office of Graduate Studies in Arts & Sciences will be hosting Leonard Cassuto, Professor of English at Fordham University, author of The New PhD: How to Build a Better Graduate Education, with Robert Weisbuch, The Graduate School Mess, and a regular writer for The Chronicle of Higher Education about graduate education.
During Professor Cassuto’s visit, he will be engaging in conversations with faculty, graduate students, and graduate education leaders across the university. Topics will range from changes in the national landscape of graduate study, to the role of experiential learning for graduate programs; the place and type of qualifying exam a program offers, to graduate program design and career diversity.
We would like to invite Arts & Sciences graduate students to a lunch forum with Professor Cassuto for conversations about The New PhD, aspects of your program, and national questions surrounding graduate education.
February 6, 11:30am-1pm, Whittemore House End Room
Space is limited to fifteen students, so we encourage you to RSVP quickly—students who attend the forum will also receive a free copy of The New PhD.
