MEET THE INSTRUCTOR
Joseph Rios, PhD
Hi, I'm Joseph and I'm the instructor of the Navigating Graduate School Masterclass. Since graduating with my PhD, I've held positions as a research scientist and university professor. During this time, I've learned important knowledge and skills that are necessary for graduate students to succeed in their doctoral programs and in professional settings. Unfortunately, most of these knowledge and skill areas are not formally taught to students. It's my goal in this course to uncover this hidden curriculum to help you achieve your professional goals.
