Reflections on Junior Year aka 2022 with Professor MG Hodge

Beyond The Venue with MG Hodge, Host & Future PhD

Only a few weeks left of the semester to go, so it’s fitting time to wrap up Season 3!
In Reflections on Junior Year, I share a part of my Statement of Goals that I have been working on over the last several weeks as a part of my PhD application. Taking a PhD level course has been great, but the work I’m having to do to get in is HARD! One of the things I’m trying to better articulate is my WHY. It was so easy as an entrepreneur, but trying to get that elevator pitch version of “why a PhD in Education” has been a work in progress.

Thank you to all of my guests this past season! You all received a personalized thank you in this reflection! Thank you to my students - every single one of you I’ve taught since I was a TA for the freshman business class at Drexel! And of course, I am so grateful to every single person who has taken the time to listen to this podcast.
Since I’ll be taking Quantitative Research next year, here are a few stats on the podcast:

1,606 total downloads as of November 18, 2022 at 4:12 pm while I’m on a train to BWI - VACATION!!

Industry Shifts with Brandon Thrash, my very first episode, continues to be the most downloaded at 99, followed by Reflections on Sophomore Year with yours truly at 83!

PhD applications are due December 1st, and I’m supposed to hear back in March. I will be teaching again this coming Spring, but instead of Leadership, I’ll be teaching Organizational Processes. And Team Processes is going back to 100% in person! So next semester will be yet another rollercoaster, but you know me, I’m along for the ride!
