What Grad Students Are Saying
“I wish I would have discovered Toyin's resources much earlier in Grad School!”
“There are so many moving pieces in grad school, and I was trying to take every opportunity presented to me, becoming overwhelmed with research, work, and my academics. I got into this cycle of burning out regularly.
The resources Toyin created for The Academic Society helped me figure out what I need to be prioritizing according to my main responsibilities and my values. Toyin's planner helped me create a solid structure each week, where I could put in self-care and me-time to prevent and stop the cycle of burn out.
I wish I would have discovered Toyin's resources much earlier in Grad School!”
— Mary, Master’s Student in Sustainable Development Practice

Toyin Alli, PhD | Founder & CEO, The Academic Society
Senior Lecturer in Mathematics, University of Georgia
When I was in graduate school, I quickly realized that smarts weren’t enough—I’d need to use every ounce of organizational skill and undergraduate research experience I had, plus mental notes from when my mom earned her PhD while I was growing up.
I built on that foundation so I could thrive in graduate school. And now, I’m sharing everything I’ve learned as a student and a professor with you.
