Student Events

Graduate students play a lot of roles – student, researcher, lab partner, co-author, mentor, advisee, mentee – and in each role you develop different interpersonal skills. In this event, we will break down the interpersonal skillset that graduate students develop: what these skills are, how they show up in the many roles that grad students play, and how they apply to different career paths you may be interested in pursuing.

Navigating your professional communities and academic networks can take a lot of work, especially if you’re a graduate student who is new to both of these spaces. In this event, we will explore the types of skills, which many graduate students already have, that help you navigate these professional spaces: managing up, identifying mentors, building support networks, and more. In addition to helping you understand and explore communities and networks, these skills can help you succeed in different career paths once you understand how they translate.

Mentoring principles are universal and apply to a variety of professional settings in and out of academia. This mentoring workshop series (CIMER: Entering Mentoring) will provide graduate students training in competencies and skills with effective mentoring (being mentors themselves). Graduate students in all disciplines are welcome to participate.

Once you know your interpersonal and professional skills, and have a sense of your career goals, what do you do with all that information? In this event, we will present tools and strategies that graduate students can use to fold this new knowledge into your professional development goals. In doing so, we will also revisit what we have learned in previous weeks in this series.
