Sabrina Mahoney's presentation - NAVIGATING GRAD SCHOOL

My name is Sabrina (she/her) I am a queer mixed-race woman of color born and raised in Los Angeles/around California. I am a reader, a sister, a cat-mom and a person who loves to make others laugh. I am pursuing a Masters in Social Work, with a BA in Psychology. I am so excited to connect with all our prospective students and be an encouraging support for folks wanting to begin their graduate school journey. As the first person in my family to go to graduate school I know first hand how stressful and challenging it can be to navigate the application process, so please do reach out and connect with me with your questions!

Luke Quinton's presentation - CLASSROOM TO CAREER

Hello everyone! My name is Luke Quinton and I’m a member of the graduate program in philosophy. I’m a Bay Area native that transferred to SFSU from community college in order to finish my undergraduate degree, so I am well aware of the anxiety, confusion, and frustration that can accompany the transfer and application process. Outside of my academic interests, I’m an avid sports fan, rec league player, and writer of a bad blog. I’m here to answer as many of your questions about graduate programs as I can and helping to ease your potential transition into SFSU. Looking forward to connecting with you all!

My Summer Workshop
Classroom to Career: Planning Skills for Post-Grad Success
  

Graduate school is an opportunity for tremendous growth, but sometimes life brings unexpected changes and challenges that may cause you to rethink your priorities. This is especially true if you’re in a program that is specialized for developing a specific skill set that might not translate directly to other fields. This presentation speaks to some of those questions and offers some helpful ways of thinking about setting and meeting goals, skill development, and planning for the future both inside and outside of the classroom.
