USEFUL pROFESSIONAL dEVELOPMENT RESOURCES FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS
It is important that graduate students have access to a variety of resources that address their academic, professional, and personal needs. Graduate school can be very stressful- beyond classes and research- so it is necessary that graduate students utilize all support systems available to them. This is just a small collection of the resources I often direct students to make use of throughout the academic year. Having them all in one place ensures they can easily access them.
