Calling All -- and We Do Mean ALL -- Grad Students
If it’s spring, it’s time for Grad Slam. The annual competition is a fantastic opportunity to share your work, as well as to hone the skills needed to succeed in any profession to which you aspire. This year, there’s an exciting new opportunity specifically tailored for fine arts students, as well! To learn more about the fine arts competition, Grad Slam, and the invaluable workshops leading up to Grad Slam, click here<https://arizona.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a3d962eebb8a6f9b56f119b2e&id=b7873f0776&e=4d15a52a2b>.

Bringing the Distant Past to the Immediate Present
Doctoral student Paula Ugalde’s research focuses on something of an archaeological enigma: despite the near-certainty in regard to patterns of early human migration, the earliest archaeological site in the Americas is in Chile, rather than a more northern site closer to the land bridge by which humans arrived. Ugalde joined the Anthropology program at the U of A after extensive archaeological work in the field, and her current work combines archaeology and geosciences in order to approach the mystery from an interdisciplinary angle.

Providing for Parents Pursuing Graduate Degrees
Nationally, roughly 13% of graduate and professional students are parents. Student parents are more likely to take a break during their path to degree, as well as more likely to leave their program without completing their degree. GPSC and Campus Rec recently hosted a focus group of graduate students who are parents in order to find out more about the unique challenges this demographic faces, and how to improve support systems for them on campus.

Exploring Career Pathways
Though it’s often taken as a given that graduate students will pursue careers in academia, we know that in reality, they enter a wide array of positions. The Graduate Center is working to raise awareness of the multitudinous possibilities open to graduate students and to help prepare students for any employment sector that interests them, be it academia or otherwise. In this third installment of a four-part series on multiple career pathways for graduate students, we focus on the employment trajectories of Holly Griffith<https://arizona.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a3d962eebb8a6f9b56f119b2e&id=81da610214&e=4d15a52a2b> (MA in English), Danielle Adams<https://arizona.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a3d962eebb8a6f9b56f119b2e&id=f1109a82a7&e=4d15a52a2b> (PhD in Middle Eastern and North African Studies), José R.
