Looking Ahead for the Graduate College
For the past year, the Graduate College -- like the University as a whole, and, for that matter, many institutions around the globe -- has been in crisis-management mode. Public health concerns and budget concerns have been primary factors in decisions, many of which feel alarming. We’re all looking forward to a post-pandemic future, including Dean Andrew Carnie, who hopes to implement proposals to re-center the Graduate College in its educational mission. For more on Dean Carnie’s thoughts, click here. <https://arizona.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a3d962eebb8a6f9b56f119b2e&id=0e8b0fe295&e=4d15a52a2b>

Community Engagement, Bolstered by Expertise
Graduate students have a wealth of expertise both broad and deep, and many are already applying that brilliance to bettering the world while en route to their degree. For Diana Wanjiru Githu and James McKenzie, academic work and community engagement are inextricably linked. For more on their work and goals, click here.<https://arizona.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a3d962eebb8a6f9b56f119b2e&id=587b577f08&e=4d15a52a2b>

Writing Resources for Graduate Students
The effort to better one’s writing often comes after receiving critical feedback, which can make the revision and workshopping process feel punitive. A more proactive approach can not only change the negative narrative regarding writing, but also put a student on the path to fully realizing their writing prowess.

5 Ways To Be An Entrepreneur As A Job Seeker
From the Graduate Center Office of Career Support
By Ryan Sermon

Being a job seeker is actually very similar to being an entrepreneur. While that might not seem apparent at first glance, many of the skills needed to be a successful entrepreneur are the same skills needed to navigate a successful job search.
