Julianne A. Wenner; Megan Frary; Paul J. Simmonds – Studies in Graduate and Postdoctoral Education, 2024
Purpose: Historically, graduate education's goal was to prepare academics; now most science, technology, engineering and/or mathematics (STEM) graduate students (GSs) go on to nonacademic careers. STEM GSs must be equipped for success regardless of career aspirations, which can be done by strengthening GSs' professional identities. This study aims…
