Guidance for PhD
Students
to confidently navigate the doctoral journey, complete your degree, and have the career growth you seek.
You don't have to come from a " legacy family" to be successful in your PhD program. We can help you navigate common challenges along the doctoral journey, help you complete program milestones, and help you build the network you deserve for academic success & career growth.
Our Why
Navcap fills three voids that PhD students from historically underrepresented communities know well.
(1) lack of networks---few mentors & career sponsors
(2) limited access to practical resources & problem-solving from those who understand the PhD journey & the experiences of minoritized people
(3) the need for profound communities of care to help with stress, belonging, and isolation in academia. Learn more about what we do BELOW.
What We Do
Are we right for you?
Do these sound like you?





You are planning to start, or in your first 3 years of a PhD/EdD program and you want much more guidance than what you have right now.
You want more than traditional advising; you juggle many roles outside of being a grad student, and you want someone who understands that.
You thrive in inclusive spaces & you want a community that shows you how to navigate your program without loosing your core.
You want to build a success network and develop high-impact relationships, but you are not sure which steps to take.
You are ambitious and driven; you value training and coaching, and you are willing to put in the work.
