Graduate Student Research Training

Mark your new calendars!

The School of Graduate Studies is initiating a Graduate Student Research Training Series.  All graduate students on campus are invited these events, and I’m hoping that students from our department will take advantage of these.  The goals are to get graduate students to feel part of a larger graduate community on campus and to offer some skills and tips for making life as an academic more manageable.  The SGS has asked me to do the January presentation on the defense process. I also think that the “elevator pitch” session could be especially useful for our graduates.  If you have question about the series, you can contact Carlie Pennington at the ORGS.
