![Flyer for Applying for the PhD: The Statement of Purpose with a description reading: "Among the documents one has to craft for a PhD application, the statement of purpose is one of the trickiest to get right. On the one hand, you need to demonstrate you have some kind of research agenda already in mind. On the other hand, you aren’t a PhD student yet, so how are you supposed to know what you are going to research? This webinar helps participants understand readers’ expectations and how to strike a good balance between personal narrative and academic certainty.

In this webinar, participants will learn how to approach the writing of their cover letter in a way that makes a coherent and compelling argument about their suitability as a candidate rather than simply repeating information contained in their CV.

![Flyer for Going Up? Crafting the Elevator Pitch featuring a macro photo of a seashell as the background with white text on solid blue boxes in the foreground reading: "“So what do you work on?” For many graduate students, being asked this question is stressful. In this workshop, we discuss the principles and best practices for constructing a strong scholarly pitch, something you can use both to describe your work in-person (like at conferences) and in written contexts (like job letters).
