Thinking about going to grad school?

Are you considering graduate school but hesitant to take the plunge?  Perhaps you are debating whether you really need an advanced degree for a career in the nonprofit sector.  This session will address why an advanced degree is worth considering.  It will also touch upon types of advanced degrees, graduate institutions, additional considerations when selecting what to study,  and alternatives to graduate school.

Her approach is to first help clients envision what kind of work they could be doing, then provide practical advice and coaching to help them realize that dream.
