We, in the office of Graduate Student Professional Enhancement, do not believe in a one-size-fits-all model for graduate education. Different backgrounds, different stages of life, different stages of study, different fields of study—all these aspects and more are what make your graduate experience unique. They alter what is expected of you in, and what you expect from, your graduate education.
Nevertheless, we have identified four core areas of development for a well-rounded graduate education, which we believe are applicable to most graduate students, no matter their discipline or stage of study:
- Career: Develop the skills, knowledge, and experience for a fulfilling career
- Research: Gain the insights and experience necessary to make an impact in your field and beyond
- Teaching: Enhance your career opportunities through the development of a transformative teaching practice
- Wellness: Pursue personal growth through a holistic balance of mental, physical, and financial wellness
Our role in the office of Graduate Student Professional Enhancement (GSPE) is to meet you, wherever you are in your graduate or professional development journey, and connect you with the opportunities and resources that can help diversify your graduate experience.
