Graduate Student Seminars 2009-2010

Graduate student seminars answer some of the big-picture questions about graduate life. The seminars target specific age groups (grad years, not biological) as well as the general population. If you have any suggestions for seminar topics or format, please contact this year's grad student seminar coordinator, whose name is listed here.

Past topics:

  • NSF Workshop

    Learn how the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship application process works, hear from past winners (who often did not receive fellowships their first time around!), and in general learn how to give yourself the best possible chance to receive one of these awards.
  • "What I wish I'd known when I started grad school"

    Learn from the mistakes of others! Hear from veteran graduate students on tips for dealing with advisors, thinking about classes, dealing with research, balancing your time, and dealing with the inevitable slumps and stumbles that will inevitably befall you on your journey through grad school.
  • Lunch with the Chair

    Come and talk to Hank Levy about Life, the Universe and Anything and Everything. And get fed at the same time.

  • NSF Essay Workshop

    Come get another pair of eyes (or perhaps even several) to review your essays before the final submission deadline.
  • IT Support

    Come and hear about technical support in the department, and what UNS is all about.
