As graduate students, your work, diverse perspectives and leadership enable us to fulfill our mission of teaching, research and service, and I鈥檓 looking forward to celebrating your contributions during Graduate Student Appreciation Week.
In recognition of all that you do for our campus community, the Graduate School is celebrating Graduate Student Appreciation Week, April 1鈥�5, with a variety of events, workshops and activities throughout the week.
What makes an effective leader? What are some of the biggest challenges facing leaders? These are questions we consider as we shape the next generation.
When you鈥檙e experiencing stress or struggling with your goals, the people who make up your social circle circle can provide comfort, feedback or ideas for overcoming obstacles.
Our campus鈥檚 transition to Canvas is in the homestretch, with retirement of Desire2Learn on Aug. 1. Years of work by faculty, staff and students have gone into the project, and we are very grateful.
With midterms underway, this can become a stressful time of the year. When I'm feeling overwhelmed, I find naming a few things I鈥檓 grateful for can help fight these negative feelings.
As interim dean, I plan to continue the work of former Dean Ann Schmiesing and UGGS leadership in making improvements to the graduate student experience.
It is important you know that I, the faculty and staff of this university care deeply about your well-being and that there are resources to provide help to those who need it.
