Graduate students spend a significant amount of time reading, yet it is common to reach the end of a page only to realize the content has not fully registered. Developing strong critical reading skills helps turn those moments into opportunities for deeper engagement.

In advance of the 2020-21 Outstanding Faculty Mentor Awards, the Graduate College hosted two mentoring sessions designed to help new graduate students develop and make the most of their mentoring relationships. 

In September, the Graduate College launched the first in a series of new workshops about graduate student mentorship. Hosted in partnership with the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences, Mentoring Matters: Knowing Your Mentoring Needs helped new graduate students better understand graduate-level mentorship.
