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 short 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.
Presented by Associate Dean Kirsten Tollefson and Associate Dean Rique Campa.
Registration is open. There is a limit of 45 attendees.
This session is in person only.
