Let's build a future where affordability, convenience and community go hand-in-hand - take the GradSPACE survey today!

Recruiting participants for a study can require significant time, money and resources. Thanks to ASU’s Research Plus Me platform, graduate students have a new, no-cost resource for participant recruitment! We share two student experiences from the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering.

While the experience of being a graduate student is varied and unique, there are common phenomena that most, if not all, graduate students will encounter after enrolling in a new program. Here are tips to help you acclimate and have a great first week!

In this Q&A, we highlight Preparing Future Faculty and Scholars (PFx) program attendee Jamal Brooks-Hawkins, a third-year Gender Studies PhD student specializing in Black, sexual and gender minorities in the African diaspora.

This month, we highlight Preparing Future Faculty and Scholars (PFx) program attendee, Isobel-Marie Johnston, an educator specializing in Jewish mikvah immersion. In this interview, she discusses rituals, special cultural practices and reframing research queries as discoveries instead of problems.

Graduate students and postdocs learned helpful tips from an etiquette coach to be prepared for lunch, dinners and happy hours in a professional setting.

As a collective, we often think of margins as bad things because they imply confinement and rigidity. But what happens when we start to think of them as opportunities? This mindset shift can have major impacts in education, leadership and beyond.

In honor of Women’s History Month, the Graduate College has curated a list of movies that recognize historical women, showcase monumental events in women’s history and highlight the various experiences of women in America.

On March 1, 1961, President John F. Kennedy established the Peace Corps, an agency that is committed to “celebrating diversity around the world, building relationships and opportunity, and fostering equity and inclusion.”

Peace Corps Week commemorates the establishment of this agency and celebrates all the ways that its volunteers make a difference at home and abroad. 

Over the past several months, the Graduate College has conducted listening sessions with graduate students and faculty communities. These sessions allowed us to observe this generation’s resiliency. As deans, we find ourselves in awe of the resiliency ASU graduate students have demonstrated since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in March. 

As the job market for academic professionals grows more competitive, a strong resume on its own won't cut it. During the latest Grad15 session, Amanda Athey, Director of Student Support Resources at the Graduate College, shared tips for leveraging your LinkedIn profile to build an online professional presence, learn about an industry, make connections, and build a personal brand to market yourself effectively to prospective employers.
