Graduate Student Newsletter - Nov. 10, 2022

Dear Graduate Students,

We know things are getting intense during these last few weeks of fall term. If you need help connecting to academic or personal resources, we are here for you. Other opportunities await below.

Graduate Research Forum

You can sign up to participate in the Graduate Research Forum starting today through Jan. 10. Graduate students in all fields of study and at any point of their research are encouraged to participate.

The forum is a great opportunity to practice engaging non-specialists in your area of interest, improve your public speaking skills, and share your ideas to a broader audience. It can also help you reflect on your own work and reach the next level of clarity in your research. Check it out.

Committee and Advisory Council Opportunities

Build your resume and help improve the campus community by participating in a Graduate Student Committee or Advisory Council. Use your voice to shape the graduate student experience at UO and tailor your service to the things that matter most to you.
