CALLING PHD TRAINEES AT UTSW

You have spent years learning how to do science. Far less time figuring out what to do with it.


BOLD Purpose Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded by former UT Southwestern PhD students. We built it because we needed it. Come meet us over lunch and hear what we are offering trainees this year.

Time: 11:30am-12:30pm

Location: NL3.114

Lunch will be provided.   

Who this is event for
Any UTSW PhD trainee, at any stage. No application is needed to attend. No obligation to join.
What you will walk out with
You will know exactly how the Foundation champions our trainees, what the mentorship program offers, and how to join our first cohort. 

What the mentorship program gives you

  • A mentor who has already made the transition you are considering, matched to your goals.

  • The skills that decide careers but are never taught at the bench: leadership, communication outside your field, networking, and professional presence.

  • A community of PhD trainees across Dallas-Fort Worth asking the same questions you are.

BOLD is rooted in the lived experience of PhD trainees. Our purpose is to help you navigate yours. We hope you will join us and take the first step toward what is possible beyond the bench.
