The Candidacy Ceremony this year is different than all of us had planned. Sadly, as a result of COVID-19, we are unable to host the traditional in-person ceremony, but join us to celebrate Ph.D. candidates at the virtual 2020 Candidacy Ceremony!
We are delighted to announce that our distinguished speaker for this year is Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett, the scientific lead for the Coronavirus Vaccines & Immunopathogenesis Team at the National Institutes of Health.
Help us recognize and celebrate the 2020 candidates by posting a photo, a video, or a message to your 2020 candidate on the Kudoboard.

You may also post live comments in the chat section but will be asked to set up an account first.
