Professional Development
The Graduate School is committed to providing student and professional development resources spanning academic, career-building and health care needs. Links for each of these resources are listed below.
Teaching resources on the Graduate School TA Orientation and Teaching Resources webpage.
All graduate students can access the resources of the Writing and Public Speaking Center for their own work, and they can also refer their students to WPSC, or schedule sessions when writing tutors visit a class to pitch their services or provide workshops.
The Graduate School also posts weekly professional development webinars on Griz Hub, the University's events calendar page.
