As a graduate student, you'll collaborate with your faculty advisor and committee to create a customized study and research plan aligned with your interests. We recommend connecting with faculty members conducting research in your areas of interest to assess their availability and funding capacity to mentor you throughout your graduate studies. You might also consider reaching out to the ESM Graduate Student Organization (ecosystem.gsogmail.com) and speaking with current department graduate students to learn about the program's strengths that could benefit you. Additionally, the ESM GSO website offers valuable resources and links specifically for graduate students.
