Professional Resources

Research skills and advanced course work are the foundation of a graduate education. Professional skills such as teaching, presenting at conferences, and understanding what constitutes research misconduct are also vitally important to becoming a scholar in the field. The Graduate School regularly schedules presentations to assist students in developing their professional skills, and provides these resources.

To schedule a presentation or suggest topics for future presentations, contact Debra Charlesworth.
