    Category: Grad School, University-Wide Graduate Student Success - Setting Expectations in Graduate Education


    May 2, 2024

    Date: 

    Thursday, May 2, 2024 - 11:30am to 1:00pm

    Location: 

    Chittenden Hall

    The Handbook of your Program covers many set expectations that will guide you to success in your graduate education at Michigan State University. However, there are many important expectations that need to be made explicit and are often jointly set that require proactive and effective communication between you and your faculty advisors and mentors. This 1.5 hour workshop provides an opportunity to explore strategies for aligning expectations early in your trajectory in graduate school and will inform you about other activities and resources to help you in that task.

    This workshop can be used to fulfill part of your RECR requirements. 

     This workshop has a limited capacity. Registration is required.

Participants should plan to write for the full three hours. We start the write-in by sharing writing goals for the day and wrap up with accomplishments and next steps.
