Workshops for Department of Economics Graduate Students

Economics Graduate Student Workshops

EPPIC offers specialized services for graduate students in Penn State’s highly multilingual Department of Economics:

• • Fall workshops are designed for current departmental job market candidates, to support the development and practice of job talks, research spiels, interview responses, and preparation for flyouts.
  • Spring workshops prepare doctoral students in years 2-4 to raise their awareness of the elements of effective seminar presentations in Economics, so that they may develop an engaging repertoire of communication strategies for presenting their own research ideas, including a polished version of their research spiel for professional networking purposes.
  • Individual consultations provide Economics doctoral students with ongoing opportunities to practice and receive feedback on their research presentations, spiels, abstracts, job application materials, and academic writing, informed by corpus-based research in Economics.

Information about these department-specific workshops and individual consultations is shared with graduate students via the Department of Economics each semester.  To learn more, please contact Dr. Meredith Doran at mcd15@psu.edu.
