Building BRIDGEs.
The Business Research Initiative for Doctoral Growth & Excellence (BRIDGE) is dedicated to empowering PhD candidates on their journey to becoming influential scholars.
Our Mission
BRIDGE was founded on the principle that rigorous research and a supportive community are the cornerstones of academic success.Â
We provide doctoral candidates in business disciplines with the resources, mentorship, and network needed to excel in their research, complete their dissertations, and launch successful careers.
We act as a vital link - a bridge - between coursework and independent scholarship, and between academia and industry.
Regular colloquia, peer support groups, and social events to foster collaboration and combat the isolation of PhD life.
Connect with senior PhD candidates, early-career faculty, and industry experts for guidance, feedback, and career advice.
Advanced methodological training, academic writing bootcamps, and "how-to" sessions on navigating the publication process.
