Graduate Student Development Series Schedule

"Graduate school can be full of uncertainty, frustration, and anxiety (especially if you are writing a thesis)! The Graduate Student Development Series has not only taught me strategies for tackling these feelings, but it has also shown me that there are plenty of students having similar experiences, which is a serious relief. The series also teaches you hard and soft skills that will help you conquer the challenges of graduate school. It is also a great way to meet other friendly students, and expand your knowledge and understanding of different aspects of diversity, equity, and inclusion. I highly recommend attending these sessions if you have the opportunity (this series is a hidden gem)!" - Angelo, Master’s student in Kinesiology, Nutrition, and Health
