Mid Stage - Graduate School Career Development Framework

As you approach you mid-candidature don't forget to take care if yourself. It is important to take some time away from the lab or library and get some perspective on your studies. CDF workshops can also help you to see things differently, network with your peers, and learn to understand yourself and others.
