Abstract
In this article, we share our own experiences with graduate student-led professional development opportunities. With this focus we contribute to the theme of this special issue: rethinking professional development and the training of geography Ph.D. students. Citing our own graduate experiences at Penn State University and Ohio State University, we discuss the importance of informal professional development seminars, graduate student conferences, community outreach, and service learning for enhancing graduate student professional development. Our hope is that such discussions can lead to a rethinking of the Ph.D. in geography and help graduate students as they make the challenging transition from doctoral student to junior faculty member.
