• GES maintains a prelim studying guide, a table of graduate student's advisors and fields, and other academic-related information, including prelim prep and core-course survival tips
• Professional development resources; like job market resources.
• general econ grad student life resources like the New Student Survival Guide (warning: pdf!).
• an archive of past email notices (to your right) and other official GES Board stuff, including an (outdated) list of who we are and what we do

Events

• Kil-Sang's email intro

The buddy list is up!

Academic Resources

The Fellowship and Funding document which Mary sent out is now on-line. We've also added the document of Conferences where PhD students can present which Chris Dunn compiled.

For the prelims, we have:

1. A page of tips and resources for the micro prelim (by jody)
2. an older list of student-recommended texts for the micro sequence
3. the Cabinet of prelim materials in the lounge. Look through, photocopy what's useful to you...but make sure to only copy it! Return, return, return! (Thanks to Ben and Alissa)

General Resources

There are many resources that Mary has put up on the web which should not be overlooked. Of particular note are:

• the GUIDE TO THE BUREAUCRACY which details rules & regs that are often mysterious: is there money available from the department for travel? What does my committee have to look like?
• the Fellowship page
