Dear Grad Students,
Summer isn't over just yet, but fall is coming, with lots of professional development opportunities you won't want to miss.
If you're interested in teaching and mentoring, register for the teaching conference or apply to mentor undergraduate students through the GiGS program. Get a head start on fellowship applications due in the Fall.
And finally, if you're looking to develop your skills while supporting other students on campus, consider applying to our Professional Development Liaison internship program -- applications are due Sunday, August 18.
Have fun exploring below!
