A wide range of disciplines are represented by students have been named to the UA Graduate College University Fellows program's 2016-2017 cohort.

A South Korean researcher who intends to improve sustainability efforts in the mining industry, an ecologist studying how species change behaviors due to shifts in the environment, and a psychologist working to improve the conditions of cancer patients and survivors are new members of the University Fellows program.

FROM ABD TO PhD
Fall 2016 WORKSHOP SERIES

Purpose: Provide writing support for ABD (all but dissertated) students; discuss shared concerns about the dissertation process; and introduce strategies to facilitate writing. All participants should come prepared to write and work collaboratively with students from across diverse disciplines. This series will continue with three new workshops in the spring.

In partnership, the Graduate College and the Office of Digital Learning (ODL) are excited to announce a new resource available to all UA graduate students via D2L called the Graduate Launchpad.

The Graduate Launchpad was created with a graduate student’s input as a way for all graduate and professional students to explore the many tools on campus and within the online learning environments before beginning classes. This resource will also assist in connecting them to classroom technologies and support services.
