PhD Program - Ahh!!

Hello Followers,


It has been about 2 years since I've last blogged! OMG time flies but ultimately I'm a blogging slacker.


I'm hoping to turn that around with my new adventure (but don't hold me to it) as a PhD student.


I am starting at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology this fall! I will be studying to obtain a PhD in Business Psychology with a focus on Consulting. Most people do not like this school and think it is a waste of time. But I have done a significant amount of research on the school and the program. I am also a pretty smart cookie, so if I feel like that as I begin the program, I will gladly reapply elsewhere.


As of now, I am SUPER excited to get started. The curriculum alone will have my on my toes. I will be learning business and consulting techniques as well as more I/O and HR. We also have a volunteer program that partners with one of the nonprofit organizations I have had my eyes on for the last few years. What better way to get some experience than to volunteer at the organization I'd one day like to work! The program is designed to be completed in 3 years with immediate work on your dissertation topic. The exciting news is that my goal is to continue working at the VA and possibly use some of the data here for my dissertation.


Ok, now back for the reason I am restarting this blog. I hope to have this blog serve several purposes. My main purpose is to have an electronic copy of my dissertation process. This will hopefully include articles I review as well as feedback I obtain along the way. I also hope that one of my post will help another graduate student on their journey. With that being said, as I find articles I believe will help me on my journey, I will repost them here as well.


I think that is it for now! Thanks for reading!


Warmest,
Char


OH: BTWs I go by Char now :)
