Dear Grad Students,
While on-campus services remain limited and we're all learning to deal with self-isolation, there are a wealth of resources for professional development available to you online. Check out our highlights section for a sample of some of the exciting new online resources that we at GradPro and our partners across campus have made newly available to students like you.
For those of you who are working as a GSI this semester, be sure to attend Digital Learning Services’ webinar on Thursday, April 2, from noon-1:30 to learn via Zoom about Tips and Tricks for Adapting Your Course for Remote Instruction. If you'd like individual guidance on your virtual teaching practice, book a remote consultation with a consultant from the GSI Teaching & Resource Center or stop by their virtual office hours on Tuesdays from 5-7 p.m.
Read on for information about Grad Div's new Summer Dissertation Writing Grant, booking an appointment with one of the Graduate Writing Center's new writing consultants, and much more!
