PhD Application Bootcamp, Gangarosa Department of Environmental Health

Applying to graduate school can be equal parts exciting and stressful. Our goal with a PhD application bootcamp is to take some of the mystery and anxiety out of the process, so that students can focus on developing their strongest graduate application.

The PhD Application Bootcamp is designed to help students complete each part of the application process, starting with deciding which PhD program is right for them, assisting with development of their personal statement and resume, as well as fine-tuning their interview skills. Students will also explore the expectations of a PhD and consider the diversity of career options for PhD graduates.

This program is free of charge and open to all students interested in applying to a PhD program, regardless of discipline, program of interest, and academic institution.

• Princeton University
• University of Pennsylvania
• Brown University
• University of Florida
• University of Washington
• University of California at San Diego

2024 BRIDGE Community Forum, BRIDGE Research Group

BRIDGE is thrilled to announce the 3rd Annual BRIDGE Community Forum.

The BRIDGE Community Forum was established with the intention of bringing together researchers, clinicians, patients, and community stakeholders to share valuable knowledge and devise new strategies to narrow the disparity gap in the Black community. Past forums have been a tremendous success, providing invaluable input that led to the launch of our breast cancer survivor focus group and the establishment of new research priorities. This year’s in-person event will further propel our research efforts and foster deeper connections within the Atlanta community. It is crucial, as researchers, that we bridge the gap with the populations we study, ensuring that their voices are included in our research directions. BRIDGE warmly invites not only those working with cancer survivors but also individuals focused on health disparities to attend.

The forum will feature a variety of research presentations from researchers at Emory, Moffit Cancer Center, and Morehouse. Additionally, BRIDGE will provide support and educational resources from our valued community partners. The event will also highlight the development and inspiring outcomes of our BRIDGE community survivor focus group.

Date: Saturday, October 5th, 2024, Time: 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Location: Rollins School of Public Health, Claudia Nance Rollins Building, 1518 Clifton Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30322.

Pricing Your Innovation with Carolyn Crewe (Skills Builder Workshop), The Hatchery

Thursday, October 10, 5:30-7:30 pm (Dinner included) at The Hatchery
Please arrive 10–15 minutes early as the workshop will begin at 5:30 pm. 

If pricing feels like a mystery, this workshop is for you. In this workshop, you’ll learn:

• How to transform the innovative thing you’re working on into offers customers want
• How to calculate what those offers are worth
• How to price your offers fairly so customers keep coming back for more

Early in her entrepreneurial career, Carolyn made some pricing mistakes and quickly realized there was nowhere to go for help. So, she took what she already knew from her MBA and lived business experience, read any pricing book she could get her hands on, and did pricing courses at places like MIT—all to fix her own pricing problem. Now, nearly 10 years later, as a pricing coach and startup advisor, she has become kind of obsessed with helping founders supercharge revenue by pricing confidently.
