The Graduate School provides academic support to help graduate students overcome obstacles and succeed in graduate school. Graduate students can review the modules below or:
- Meet individually with a trained peer coach either online or in-person for a 1-to-1 consultation by scheduling a meeting with GWPL Coordinator, Jordan Scott. These free consultations offer students individualized advice on how to address academic challenges. Please make an appointment through the Graduate Writing and Presenting Lab (GWPL) and check the box for ‘Academic Support’ when you schedule your appointment.
- Attend any of our monthly academic support workshops advertised through the Graduate School’s weekly newsletter.
Students should contact the Academic Support Specialist for help with issues common during graduate school including:
- Productivity and motivation
- Overcoming writer’s block and other writing topics
- Using winter and summer breaks effectively
- Reading, focusing, and studying strategies
- Stress, self-care, and dealing with burnout
- Dealing with rejection in academia
- Tackling other grad-related obstacles
