Well-being is a trendy topic these days, and it is also a vital component to a successful life no matter your field or focus. It may be hard to keep your mental, physical, and relational health as a priority while a graduate or professional student, but it is not impossible. In this session, we will discuss practical tips to help you manage the stress of graduate school while advancing your academic and professional goals. You will also learn about helpful resources offered through the Graduate School and at MSU.
This workshop is open to new and current graduate and professional students. Registration opens on January 13th and closes the day before each session.
There will be an in-person version of this workshop on February 1st .

WOCI is excited to inform you about our workshop series on Surviving Comprehensive Exams. We have two upcoming sessions on Preparing for Oral Exams and Preparing a Dissertation Prospectus and Defense geared toward womxn of color scholars. Our workshops feature both graduate students who recently passed comps and faculty who have both taken comps and given them. Our panelists also come from colleges around campus.
This workshop is designed to help graduate students who are preparing for comps. We strongly encourage 1st and 2nd year PhD students to attend this in hopes that we can help them demystify the comps process well before they are scheduled to take these exams. We also encourage early career faculty who have never given a comps exam to join us as well. They can hear from experienced faculty members about how they facilitate oral exams and prospectus defenses. If you have any questions, please email msu.woci@msu.edu.

Graduate School Write-Ins are co-sponsored by the Graduate School and The Writing Center at MSU. The write-ins are hosted and facilitated to provide writers with an opportunity to write in a shared writing space where other writers are present, and a writing center consultant/staff member is present to provide consultations for writers who would like to have a consultation appointment during the session.
Along with this, the write-ins provide an opportunity for facilitators to promote and share information about upcoming events hosted by the Graduate School, Writing Center, and other campus partners such as the University Outreach and Engagement Office and to provide resources and information that can be used to form graduate writing groups, have writing center appointments or attend workshops (provided by the Graduate School) cater to graduate students based on goals they may share during the write in.
Event will be held at the Graduate School- Chittenden Hall room 110. Zoom link will be shared with registrants prior to the date of the workshop.
