Student Coffee Chat

for CDS students

The College of Doctoral Studies Student Coffee Chat (SCC) is a virtual, bi-monthly event designed to support student success. Each session offers engaging discussion with like-minded peers, providing inspiration and guidance as you progress through your program and beyond.

These informal sessions provide a relaxed, supportive space where students can ask questions, share concerns, and connect with others who understand the doctoral journey. With no pressure or formal agenda, each session offers warm conversation and practical guidance to help students move forward with confidence.
