July 9, 2025Are you having a hard time getting things off your to do list? Would you benefit from a dedicated space and being around others to find motivation and productivity? If so, please join us in a structured community space for supporting goal achievement. We will start at 1pm with a brief time of connecting and sharing goals. We will then have two sessions of about 50 minutes where everyone will work on their individual goals with a 10-minute break in between. You can come for one or both sessions or just stop in at any point. We will offer a hybrid option upon request.
Please reach out to Clara Graucob, GROW GA, for more information at graucobc@msu.edu. Whether it’s your dissertation, classwork, emails, a crafting project, or brushing up your CV, let’s help each other help each other Get Stuff Done! No RSVP needed.

July 10, 2025ATTENTION:
Graduate Students
Take a break, get creative, and connect with fellow grad students at Crafternoon, part of our Summer of Connection series!
We'll have a variety of activities to choose from—pipe cleaner flowers, origami, yarn arts, coloring pages, and a collaborative community weaving project. Bring your own craft or start something new with supplies provided. No experience needed—just come as you are and enjoy some low-key creative time with fellow graduate students.
This Summer of Connection series is collaboration between the Graduate School’s Office for Wellbeing (GROW), Graduate Educator Advancement and Teaching (GREAT) office, and the Council of Graduate Students (COGS). Summer means a quiet campus and we want to offer opportunities for students to maintain existing or create new connections with fun and relaxing activities. Join us for any or all events! Keep an eye out for more events and details to be announced over the coming weeks.
AGEP Learning Community Meeting AGEP Learning Community Meeting

July 10, 2025The Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) at Michigan State University (MSU) was started with funding from the National Science Foundation. MSU AGEP supports recruitment, retention, and graduation of underrepresented students in doctoral programs of the natural and social sciences, mathematics, engineering and the humanities. The MSU AGEP Learning Community is an informal environment where students from varying disciplines can gather, share their research in a 10-minute presentation, or discover that their graduate toils are not unusual. Those in attendance are privy to information regarding fellowships, career opportunities, even summer internships, pertaining to the group.
