The 2024 UnForum took place on Friday, Oct. 21.
This year, SILS PhD students joined forces with CHIP PhD students.
Over the course of the 3-hour UnConference, we:
- explored barriers and facilitators to our PhD experience
- brainstormed ways to break down those barriers and encourage those facilitators
- used play-doh, paper, and markers to build prototypes of our ideas
- used play-doh, paper, and markers to make “monsters” that exemplified how we feel about our research right now
- engaged in small group discussions about our research, challenges we face, and questions that we would appreciate peer support on.
It was an engaging day, and we are looking forward to PUFF 2025!
We are grateful to SILS and the Graduate and Professional Student Group for their funding and support of this event!
