“DPA provided me with insights into the world of business school faculty positions, and for how to prepare for that job market. DPA’s design fostered holistic growth and preparation, and its networking opportunities offered an invaluable platform for exchanging ideas, sharing experiences, and forging lifelong friendships with like-minded scholars.”
Gold Okafor, PhD Candidate in Social and Personality Psychology at UC Berkeley
