Grad15: Mapping Your Mentor Network

Mentorship is one of the most critical components of graduate student success, and one of the best ways to design your mentorship experience is by creating a mentoring map.

Grad15: Mindfulness for Stress Reduction

For graduate students, mindfulness offers more than a popular approach to stress reduction. While it can certainly ease stress, its benefits extend much further — fostering resilience, sharpening focus and supporting success in every area of life, whether as a student, researcher, professional or individual.

Grad15: Individual Development Plan Tools

Career planning isn’t a one-time decision. It’s a journey that evolves with your goals, values and life circumstances. Whether you’re just starting a graduate program or nearing the start of your professional career, your priorities might change. Understanding how to make good decisions about career is just as important as the decisions themselves. That’s why using tools like Individual Development Plans (IDPs) can be so helpful. They give you the structure to assess, reflect and plan intentionally.
