Details

Graduate school can feel simultaneously exciting and isolating, especially at the start. This virtual session will help new graduate and professional students explore how to find connection, build supportive relationships, and create a sense of belonging in their academic community, the general graduate community, and the university as a whole. Participants will leave with practical strategies for connecting with peers, mentors (peer, academic, and professional), and campus resources to support their success and well-being.

Presented by Austin A. Deray, Assistant Director, Graduate Student Life, University Life
