Information for graduate students
I co-organize a professional development seminar for graduate students, with Heather Molle and Amanda Watkins. We meet roughly every other Tuesday from 4:30-5:20 in B11 MacLean Hall. Anyone with burning questions or good topics (things you answered yourself through brute force and suffering) should drop us an email and tell us about them.
| Date | Title | Speakers |
| Feb. 17 | Goals for grad school: what do you need to do to get where you want to go? | Panel: John Rost, Heather Molle, Amanda Watkins, Julianna Tymoczko |
| Mar. 10 | Life after grad school | Joe Stickles, Millikin University |
| TBA | Giving a comp talk | TBA |
| TBA | Teaching with group work | TBA |
| TBA | Finding an advisor and research area | TBA |
I collect essays and links on various issues of interest, loosely inspired by topics in the seminar. If there's something you'd like but can't find, let me know. If there's something I missed or got wrong, I'd like to hear that, too.
- Finding funding (applying is a separate question!)
- Creating and editing webpages at UIowa (written by Will Hager)
