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
At BRIDGE, we believe that great research and a supportive community go hand in hand. That’s why we’re here: to make sure PhD students don’t go through this journey alone.
We give PhD candidates the tools, mentorship, and connections they need to not just finish their dissertations, but to thrive in their research and build meaningful careers.
Think of us as your bridge - guiding you from student to scholar, and connecting academia with 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.
