Lunch with the Dean is a program that provides an opportunity for graduate program directors to engage with Dean Dagbovie, Graduate School staff, and your peers. This program was initially launched to increase engagement between the Graduate School and graduate students, and it has been expanded due to its success. These lunches will be held once or twice per semester.
Please register to sign up for our first Lunch with the Dean opportunity on Monday, February 5 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Chittenden Hall. For this first Lunch with the Dean, we will discuss the role of the GPD, referencing an article by Weiner and Peterson (2019), which surveyed GPDs at 26 institutions and had 353 respondents. Included in this discussion will be a brief presentation of our own GPD surveys conducted in 2021 and 2022.

Location:
Hybrid | In-person: Bessey Hall
This interactive writing workshop is designed to help students develop an individualized plan for understanding graduate school more generally and graduate writing more specifically. This workshop is designed for students in both the early and later years of their master’s degree.
This 3-hour workshop will concentrate on understanding the transition to graduate school, navigating master’s degree coursework and graduation options (thesis, exams, portfolios, etc.), locating and using professional and personal support resources, and writing for both the degree and future job. Participants will create academic timelines for their master’s work (coursework, conference presentations, internships, etc.) at MSU and discuss technologies and habits that can help them stay on task. Participants will also discuss how to manage the stress that often pervades the life of master’s students and how to select and work with a committee. The workshop will end with participants exploring and sharing their current writing practices, writing and revision strategies, and strategies for overcoming writer’s block and procrastination
Zoom link and details will be shared with registrants prior to the date of the workshop. *Please note your registration is a commitment to attend.
