Doctoral Careers and Professional Development Fund
This fund supports student-initiated events and activities focused on non-academic career preparation, networking, and professional development for doctoral students on the Homewood (KSAS, WSE, SOE) and East Baltimore (SOM, BSPH, SON) campuses. Events supported through this fund must be aligned with the broader goals of the Life Design Lab and be co-branded as a Life Design Lab event open to interested doctoral students and post-doctoral fellows across the university.
