Best piece of advice given/received for graduate school: Finding a research advisor is more than just finding a match in research interest. Your advisor will be the strongest advocate for you future career development and your lab mates will become life-long peers. Make sure that your learning and working style meshes well with that of the advisor and lab members and the lab culture is positive and supportive of your professional and personal development.

What I love about GradTrack: I love the positive community that GradTrack cultivates. Both undergraduate participants and graduate mentors have a lot to gain from the experience. The goal is to set everyone up for success. The GradTrack team has put together a fantastic set of programing that enables just that.
