Events

P&G will be hosting our Graduate Student Poster Competition for all PhD graduate students in chemistry, engineering, life science and data science.

Learn how to think about your work in a way that transforms it from innovation to invention, protect your discoveries, navigate the patent process, and understand the strategic importance of IP in driving commercial products and competitive advantage.

Overcome any reservations you might have about professional networking in live situations. During this interactive session, attendees will learn how to effectively identify and approach potential professional contacts with a keen understanding of professional etiquette.

Learn the characteristics of an effective teaching statement —including what search committees look for —and begin drafting/refining your statement to vibrantly convey your teaching values and the instructional choices you make to help students achieve learning goals.

Are you a quantitative/data-focused advanced degree student or scholar? Ask alumni about their career journey, from academia into industry, their current role, advice on entering the job market and ways to be a competitive candidate.

Teaching Practice is a teaching improvement technique that involves an instructor delivering a mini-lesson (10-12 minutes) to a small group of peers in order to receive detailed feedback on their teaching effectiveness. It is a great opportunity for instructors to try new teaching strategies in a safe environment.

Join us for a come-and-go event designed to help graduate students connect with peers, meet the Graduate School team and explore involvement opportunities. Enjoy food, music and casual conversation in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Join us for a welcoming Lunch & Talk designed especially for first-generation graduate students. This event is a chance to connect with fellow first-gen peers, share experiences, and build community in a relaxed and supportive setting.

Come share some breakfast tacos and meet the Graduate Student Services team. Feel free to bring any questions about our processes and policies or even bring a laptop to have us work along with you on a task. This event will be come-and-go and open to graduate students, faculty and staff.

In this session, Speaker Omar Abdullah will cover: Practical, non-cringey strategies to gain buy-in, follow up meaningfully, and stay top of mind inside and outside academia. In this session, graduate students will get comfortable with the parts of professional life that no one really teaches: influence, presence and connection.
