Navigating Grad School Academic Success Strategies for FirstGen College Students
Fri 2/23/2024 • 5PM - 7PM PST
Student Activities Center, Conference Room 4
Hosted by the Graduate Writing Center
This workshop will provide useful strategies for navigating graduate school successfully. We will focus on tips and tricks that will help you succeed, as well as elucidate aspects of the "hidden curriculum," or things you're expected to know but not explicitly taught. We will cover a broad spectrum of topics such as managing writing requirements, using organizational tools to stay on track, communicating effectively with mentors to meet your needs, and networking at conferences to build professional relationships. Light refreshments will be provided.
*We are defining a first-generation college student as a student whose parent(s) or guardian(s) did not complete a four-year degree in the United States.
Presenter: Kimberly Miranda, Chicana/o and Central American Studies, Graduate Writing Center Consultant
