Our conversation with full-time higher education professionals who are enrolled in doctoral programs continues! La Profesora talks with future Dr. Oscar Lanza-Galindo and his daughter Chel about how he navigated his first year in doctoral student amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Fortunately, he had tremendous support from his partner, Jamie, and from Chel, who knew exactly when to help her dad take a break from studying for foam sword fights!

What is most moving from this episode is how much love and support we can find from one another in this doctoral journey. May this episode inspire any of our gente who are contemplating a doctoral program to make informed decisions about the program that will set you up for success.
