Crafting your life for graduate school and beyond is a 2-day workshop for women in the early stages of a mathematics PhD program within the Greater Toronto Area. It aims to help women build the capabilities that they need to complete a mathematics PhD while living a full life. The workshop will include talks, panels, and workshops on topics such as non-academic careers for math PhDs, communicating in male dominated fields, selecting an advisor, building mathematical networks, and time management. Participants will craft personal plans and raise a community of support among local women mathematicians.

Participants will be reimbursed for their travel expenses, up to $50 over the 2 days of the workshop. Lunch and light refreshments will also be provided on both days. If you have any financial concerns that will prevent you from attending the workshop, please contact Sarah Mayes-Tang at smt@math.toronto.edu.

Please limit your total response length for the open-ended questions below to 250 words.
