Dean VGP's Advice

Feeling nervous about networking?

As a prospective student, you are constantly gathering information to guide the next step of your training journey, and networking is an essential aspect of this process. We know that approaching new people, organizations, or institutions may make you feel nervous, and it's OK. But you can use that energy to power through the conversation or to write that e-mail, and don't lose sight of your motivations, careers goals, and appetite for learning. You've got what it takes to network, and you are in a position to create your own possibilities.

Grad Stories

ADI Spotlight: Meet Néhémie!

What advice would you give prospective, incoming, and/or first-year underrepresented Princeton graduate students?

"I would tell them to relax, because they made it. This journey may lead to a doctoral degree, but for now, they can take a deep breath, reassess, and regroup. Now that you're at Princeton, you've done all the stuff that required you to stay up and grind. Now it's a longer run, and you gotta pace yourself so you don't tire out before the end. It's a marathon, not a sprint."
