OF RESEARCH AND CAREER COACHING

Vaughn, Hayley.jpeg

"As a previous participant of a post-bac research program at University of Iowa, I can say the experience allowed me to obtain necessary research experience that graduate programs desire. Also, it allowed me to be immersed with graduate students, faculty members, and courses - so that when I started grad school, I had a relatively lighter class load and faculty I still keep in contact with regularly."   

 

~ Hayley Vaughn, PhD (current postdoc)
