Bread, Butter and Resumé Boost 3: The most colorful basement you will ever be in

Your dearest is back! Many of you know me as the person behind this IEDP admissions blog (and if you read Ale’s post, you also learned that I’m behind the Instagram account of the program as well!) and here I am to introduce you to another world of mine at Penn. I work at Family Resource Center as an Education Fellow whose responsibilities include managing … Continue reading Bread, Butter and Resumé Boost 3: The most colorful basement you will ever be in

Bread, Butter and Resumé Boost 2: Rocking the two worlds of RAship and TAship

Continuing the fabulous discussion on on-campus jobs initiated by Ale (tbh, one of my favorite posts on this blog!), today we are going to peak into another cohort mate of ours, Ian’s experience of working on campus while enrolled as a full-time student at IEDP.

Bread, Butter and Resumé Boost 1: IEDP GAship

In another life, I would’ve worked on Broadway as a stage manager. Or as an air traffic controller. Or as a dog show planner. Essentially, anything with a walkie talkie earpiece and a clip board. My GA experience is like that, but with emails, and a team of friends. I am part of a team of 7 IEDP GAs. Each of us has a specific … Continue reading Bread, Butter and Resumé Boost 1: IEDP GAship

Can you believe that we are already half way through our IEDP journey?

I know. It sounds crazy but for those who are doing the program in a year and a half, it indeed is! For those who are finishing in a year, even less is left. A lot happened over the past seven months and IEDPers grew, with more insights about the program and graduate school experience. Just like the time when this year’s cohort reflected on … Continue reading Can you believe that we are already half way through our IEDP journey?

A Day in the Life of an IEDPer, Literally: How I spend my Wednesdays – Grad student’s life

One of the most frequently asked questions during virtual information sessions, email exchanges, phone conversations, etc. with prospective students is “What does your typical day at IEDP look like?” And too many times we struggle to provide crisp answer to that question mostly because our typical days look all very different! It depends on whom you ask, on what day of the week you ask … Continue reading A Day in the Life of an IEDPer, Literally: How I spend my Wednesdays – Grad student’s life

Courses Outside of IEDP: Choices, choices, choices…

IEDP experience spills beyond IEDP – now that we have checked off a handful of prerequisite courses in fall semester, many of our cohort mates are expanding their horizons by enrolling courses outside of IEDP. Some of these outside-of-IEDP courses include refugee law, indigenous languages, global citizenship and ethnographic film-making. In this post, I will introduce the outside-of-IEDP courses that I’m enrolled for this semester … Continue reading Courses Outside of IEDP: Choices, choices, choices…
