This Friday we’ll discuss: How can we find ways to do research that is meaningful to us (both substantively and with regards to methods) while keeping our options open in the job market?

#PoliSciTwitter: What qualities are admissions committees hoping to find in the writing sample? #QsFromApplicants

[Michael Wahman @miwahman]

US Poli Sci friends: I am mentoring some very accomplished African students looking to pursue a PhD in America, but GRE is an obstacle. What programs do you know of that don't require GREs with applications this year? MSU is one.

[GAPS Collective @gapscollective]

The mentorship program for applicants in 2020 is now closed. We're excited to share that we connected close to 100 BIPOC students with mentors this year!

If you're applying to programs in 2021 onwards & are BIPOC, you can continue requesting mentors.
