Exploring Existence Through Education
University Fellow Sy Simms came from a family of academically-inclined individuals, so in some ways going to graduate school felt like a foregone conclusion. On the way to their current doctoral program, though, Simms has made time for a huge array of experiences, hobbies, and work -- all of which have made them more dedicated to their current work in higher education policy. For more on their life, research, and goals, click here.<https://arizona.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a3d962eebb8a6f9b56f119b2e&id=fc604e400c&e=4d15a52a2b>

4 Career Benefits of Community Engagement Work
From the Graduate Center Office of Career Support
By Joel Muraco

Many graduate programs focus on developing scholars in three areas: research, teaching, and service. While most graduate students will receive direct training and support for their research and teaching endeavors, less attention is usually paid to the service component. Pursuing community engagement work offers direct and indirect benefits while simultaneously enhancing one’s service work. Click here to learn about four benefits one gains when engaging in community engagement work.<https://arizona.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a3d962eebb8a6f9b56f119b2e&id=546ecb7626&e=4d15a52a2b>
