They show evidence of profiting by intellectual collaboration and exchange at the very highest levels. They are good communicators who can share their specialized knowledge and challenging ideas with faculty in other fields, with fellow postgraduate scholars from across the graduate departments and professional schools, as well as with brilliant undergraduates.
