What is this podcast about? by Pa Vue
"Graduate school can be a very lonely and life-changing journey for first-generation college students. From the application process to balancing a busy schedule to analyzing and processing original data for a thesis or dissertation, it can be trial and error for first-generation college students. I experienced this first-hand when I was accepted into a PhD program right out of college. Now I'm experiencing it again as I return to school. In the On Becoming Educated podcast, I'll share stories from my journey as a PhD student. From taking the GRE to defending my dissertation, you'll hear all about how I navigate every step of graduate school. My goal is to shed light on this process and make it accessible and possible for anyone who wants to change the world with a PhD."
