Abstract
This panel is an opportunity to explore questions about applying for and entering into a doctoral program with students currently in the Rhetoric and Writing Ph.D. Program at BGSU. We will discuss our experiences with the genres of writing we had to focus on during the application process and what we wish we knew about those genres when we first started writing. We will talk about our experiences entering into the program and how those experiences help us moving forward. The panel will allow us to interact with participants and engage with questions that tend to come up. What does collaboration entail? How do you plan your time wisely? What genres can you expect to write in while doing your Ph.D.? As students currently collaborating in a program, we hope this panel is a way to gain a better understanding of different ways to approach these questions.
Jon, Renee, Triauna, and Tammie are Ph.D. students in the Rhetoric and Writing Program at BGSU currently collaborating on projects focused on professional development while ultimately surviving and thriving in the program!
