SC&I Doctoral Students Association

Vision

The vision of SC&I DSA is to have a significant impact on the social, intellectual and professional lives of SC&I doctoral students and to represent and advance their interests to SC&I, Rutgers University, and the wider academic community.

Mission

Intellectual:

We will enable platforms that allow doctoral students to enrich their intellectual lives and expand their intellectual horizons; especially to engage deeply with students and academics in departments & disciplines outside of SC&I and institutions outside of Rutgers. These platforms will be physical and online; local, regional, national and international; student only and student & academic.

Professional:

We will provide experience-based support to doctoral students in the key areas of professional academia: a) preparation for conferences b) writing for and getting accepted in peer-reviewed journals c) teaching and d) job searches.

Social:

We will create a greater sense of community for doctoral students and build social structures that students can rely on for relaxation, companionship, moral support, mentoring and advice.
