For sure, people were sharing info, but there were several new PhDs who did a panel discussion especially for doctoral students. I think that Dr. Jean's speech was developed during his very first attendance to an Institute on Teaching and Mentoring conference, I'm guessing some years back. He gave us all a healthy dose of inspiration and motivation to 'keep it moving'! Thanks, Aprell!

I think that Dr. Jean’s speech was developed during his very first attendance to an Institute on Teaching and Mentoring conference, I’m guessing some years back. He gave us all a healthy dose of inspiration and motivation to ‘keep it moving’!

Thanks, Aprell!

But it sounds like it was a great learning experience for you. Besides the 80 new PhDs, How many others were there that were ABD or just a couple years into grad school? Did the new PhDs provide advice outside of the 60sec speeches (i.e, workshops, groups, etc) I watched Dr. Jean's speech, and I was kind of moved that he decided to write his graduation/ABD speech before graduation as a method to motivate himself. Did he do this when he first started grad? I may need to the same, lol. That is very funny how you met one of your relatives at the conferences.
