The PREP Model

We've based our workshop selections around the PREP model, coined by Michigan State University. The acronym embodies four areas that we believe are essential for your success.

Planning:

Graduate school isn't easy. Proper planning, however, can dramatically reduce stress and anxiety and get you on the road to achieve your academic goals.

Resilience:

Being resilient is an important trait for managing both your personal and professional lives.

Engagement:

This is a must to be involved in the academic world around you, to take advantage of opportunities and attain your goals.

Professionalism:

This is a core competency of any graduate student.
