Empowering and mentoring graduate students with professional and lifelong learning skills
March 4, 2024 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm GMT
Graduate students face many challenges during their academic journey and often lack formal training in professional and learning skills. To address these challenges and support student success, our diverse, multi-institutional team designed a self-directed course to equip graduate students with core skills, empower them with tools and strategies, and foster an inclusive, equitable, and healthy environment. This course includes five modules: mentorship, strategic learning, project management, academic resilience, and navigating difficult conversations (including power dynamics).
Presentation attendees will: gain insights into the values and principles that underlie the course design, receive the findings of our multi-institutional, multi-discipline course pilot, with recommendations for incorporating the course in a variety of settings, and receive the results of an autoethnographic analysis of the team’s process, offering a framework that they may apply in their own context.
