Please complete this form to apply for the 2023 Connections Program hosted by the Human Development and Social Policy doctoral program at Northwestern University's School of Education and Social Policy.
Connections is a PhD preparation and community-building program designed for individuals who identify as members of minoritized communities that have been historically underrepresented in doctoral programs (e.g. communities of color, LGBTQ+, first-generation low-income (FGLI)). The Connections program includes a day-long workshop for people who are interested in applying to PhD programs in human development (HD), social policy (SP), and similar fields of study.
The workshop, to be held on Northwestern University's Evanston campus on May 19, 2023, will provide:
- A sneak peek at the "hidden" curriculum of doctoral work in HD/SP programs,
- Assistance with and resources for preparing applications to HD/SP PhD programs, and
- Opportunities for sharing, community, and building lasting connections with current PhD students, faculty, and future colleagues.
We are inviting applications from individuals residing in the broader Chicagoland area who can travel to Northwestern's Evanston campus for a day-long event.
We look forward to meeting and connecting with you!
