Workshop Series Description
Whenever you start something new you have a list of 1) the things you know, 2) the things you know you don���t know and 3) the dreaded things you don���t know you don���t know. This "Hidden Curriculum Workshop" series is aimed at that third category: those things you pick up slowly over years in academia that if you had just been told would make life so much more straightforward.
As a first or second year student, you may find yourself stressed or worried about:
- What to expect in your four years here, and how to make the most of it?
- Finding people both in and out of the lab that can help you on your journey?
- What to do when things get complicated? How to strengthen your relationship with your mentor after conflict?
- How to be a researcher and how your work has impact?
- How to use academic terminology correctly (e.g., tenure, F-grants, and more)?
If these are questions you are sitting with, we encourage you to join us for this workshop series to learn more.
