No PhD student graduates without difficulty. The PhD student experience is intricate, with highs and lows that differ for every individual. Although support from senior scholars is vital to a PhD student’s success, connection with fellow PhD students who are undergoing the same experiences is a powerful and necessary form of support. This PDW aims to offer mentorship and support to PhD students, by fellow PhD students. Through panel discussion and roundtable group work, participants will build support resources and strategies for gaining teaching skills, developing dissertation research, addressing dissertation committee relationships, building healthy work-life balance, entering the job market, and more. All PDW organizers, panelists, and facilitators are current PhD students or have graduated within the last year, with a wide variety of institutions. They offer their experiences as examples for mentorship. After all, no one else understands the concerns of doctoral students better than current doctoral students.
