Graduate Professional Development Series
Develop Yourself to Be the Best You Can Be!
Current graduate students are invited to participate in professional development workshops, student competitions, and training sessions in order to develop skills essential not only in graduate school but also in the current work place. Participating in these events offers an ideal opportunity to network with industry leaders and other graduate students and grow both personally and professionally.
Upcoming Professional Development Workshops
There are currently no professional development workshops scheduled. As new sessions are scheduled, they will be available for registration on this page.
We will also share and advertise the new series on our Office of Graduate Studies Facebook page. In the meantime, you can utilize recordings and resources from previous professional development workshops below.
