The Humanities department is committed to offering its graduate students rich opportunities for professional development, such as:
- Professional Development Seminars
- Department Colloquia
- Teaching and Research Assistantships (where available)
- A voice in shaping Department policy (e.g., membership in job-search and steering committees)
- A voice in shaping University policy (e.g., membership on the Graduate Student Government [GSG])
Professional development starts with our proseminar (HU 5001), in which you begin to learn the details of institutional and programmatic life—how to succeed as a graduate student, what is expected of you professionally, and what you can expect as a graduate student in Humanities at Michigan Tech.
We offer focused preparation for the job market, including seminars and intensive mentoring in professional development. Preparation includes experience writing a teaching philosophy, assembling a teaching portfolio, researching job advertisements and prospective employers, as well as participating in mock interviews and feedback workshops on curriculum vitaes, and letters of application.
