The event that I attended was the Special Panel on Applying to Graduate School, on October 1, 2014
The event took place in Alger lecture hall 110. I attended the event from 12:30- 2 pm. The event was led by a handful of people, whom consisted of a grad intern, a person from the career development center, a professor from Harvard, and etc. They talked about whether or not grad school was in your best interest; when to attend; the process of applying; and financing your studies. We were given packets of information on everything the panel talked about.
In attending this event it refers to Nakkula Toshalis's reference to moratorium identity. Moratorium identity "is a developmental state in which one actively explores roles and beliefs, behaviors and relationships, but refrains from making a commitment". By exploring the option of grad school I am exploring the beliefs I believe in before making a commitment.
I attended this event because I am pretty sure I want to attend grad school but I did not know one thing about it before this event. From attending this event, I learned that getting experience can give you a better understanding of what exactly you want to do. Grad school is something you need to know specifically what you are interested in and right now I am on the fence. I am between getting my masters in the field social work or psychology. This event helped me learn about establishing relationships with professors in the meantime and really getting an understanding of what my future will look like. I was given all the information I need in how to apply and finance and so on from attending this event which will be extremely helpful in my future
