Come learn about graduate school from the perspective of a current graduate student, an IU South Bend professor, and a director of graduate studies. Unlike your undergraduate education, a graduate school will typically pay for your studies in exchange for your efforts to help the department by teaching a few laboratory classes during the first few years before you engage in full-time research with your faculty mentor. The stipend can't compete with the salary of an industry job, but the experience and Ph.D. degree can make up for the difference in the long run. The photograph below was taken during the presentation and shows biochemistry professor Shahir Rizk moderating the discussion.
