Last night I turned in my last assignment for not only my last class of term, but my last regular class of my program. 👀

T-minus 256 days until programs end 🤙

Thanks to everyone who boosted this so there could be more participation. The results point at one possible reason why I haven't been getting much participation when I try to get folks contributing to efforts to disseminate grad school info from their schools.

The replies to this were interesting, too! #AcademicChatter #GradSchool

On old Twitter, there used to be a pretty vocal and thriving community of academics in various disciplines, as well as people who were learning from them and current grad students when it comes to applying for grad school & prep programs.

Things seem more silent here (with the exception of EECS and physics, perhaps).

Unscientific poll: How many of y'all grad school seekers are here?

This can be a great strategy to retool for your future--especially if you live in a state like New Mexico that takes educating a large proportion of #FirstGen college attendees as a serious priority, with in-state tuition almost A THIRD OF this article's stated average--which can often be reduced TO ZERO through state grants & financial assistance specifically aimed at helping these populations.

At these states' flagship institutions--like The University of New Mexico--the realities the article mentions of juggling work ,school, and home life are mitigated through widespread availability of classes online--but still taught by the same faculty you'd have on campus--and timed to fit your schedule. And through a campus culture and a faculty that honors the struggles you make, to make a better future.

Whether you're a new aspiring #undergraduate or an experienced professional with ANY technical degree contemplating a return to #GradSchool--like countless Soldiers I've mentored in the four decades since my OWN military career began--accredited programs like UNM Organization, Information & Learning Sciences (OILS), with degree & certificates from the bachelors to the Ph.D., can equip you with the evidence-based tools & methods at the intersection of recruiting, training, HR, and analytics, to design, lead, and evaluate the workforce readiness programs for your current organization, or charting an entirely new path.

What are you waiting for...?

I have to present my capstone thesis/research at my graduation — 10.5 months away — and I'm ALREADY nervous about it.

  #AcademicChatter There are at least a dozen websites that try to monetize people's grad school searches. If you're at a grad school, please contribute a link to where your university or college advertises PhD or Masters funding. We need to stop letting people enrich themselves off public research, public job listings, etc.

Let's share this so we can build our own resources! #GradSchool #Science #GetFediHired #Job
