Sessions For: Student Life (Housing)

This workshop is open to all graduate students seeking guidance around interviewing for positions beyond tenure track roles, which can differ greatly from the academic job search process. It also meets the needs of those applying to internships, including those applying to the Rackham Doctoral Intern Fellowship Program. The workshop will focus on preparing graduate students to navigate the interview process, and to effectively answer questions by strategically articulating strengths and skills. We will also discuss a framework for answering behavioral interview questions.

This event is intended to be interactive, therefore a recording will not be available.
This workshop is designed for master's students, doctoral students, and postdoctoral fellows. For faculty and staff, please contact rackhampdeworkshops@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.

Brought to you by the University Career Center, in partnership with Rackham Graduate School.

SIGN UP FOR MEETINGS WITH DR. POISSON HERE.
TITLE: Being in Collaboration
ABSTRACT: There are many ways to be a biostatistician. Beyond whether you identify as a Bayesian or frequentist - beyond whether your expertise is in time-to-event analysis, missing data, or genetics - we each have a role in the broader community of science and research. In this presentation we will explore the role of the biostatistician as a team scientist and collaborative researcher. While examples will be drawn from experiences in an academic medical center, the principles of communication, leadership, statistical expertise, and domain knowledge apply across settings. Here, at the beginning of a new academic year, let’s take a moment to celebrate our unique abilities and the joy of seeing their impacts – big and small – in the world around us.

ABOUT THE PRESENTER: Dr. Laila Poisson, PhD, exemplifies the collaborative nature of biostatistics in addressing issues of significance in public health and medicine using data and science. A 2009 graduate of the Biostatistics PhD program at Michigan, Dr. Poisson has since become a nationally recognized leader in neuro-oncology research, data integration, and biostatistics education.
She currently serves as Vice Chair of Biostatistics in the Department of Public Health Sciences and a Senior Scientist in the Hermelin Brain Tumor Center at Henry Ford Health in Detroit. In parallel, she is a Research Professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Michigan State University.

Engendering Respectful Communities (ERC) is a one session workshop that engages graduate students in meaningful dialogue about various forms of sexual misconduct they may encounter in both professional and social spaces, and provides resources for intervention or support in such circumstances.
The primary goal of the workshop is to address complexities experienced by graduate students as they engage in bystander intervention, so that participants gain an increase in awareness of barriers to action and familiarity with strategic planning to overcome them. The workshop also introduces participants to on-campus resources and provides knowledge on how sexual misconduct can unfold in graduate-specific settings.
The ERC workshop uses small-group circles intended to promote active reflection and space to build community. The procedure of circles is introduced at the beginning of the workshop in order to help participants get used to the process, which they do through a circle for introductions and value-sharing for the workshop space. These circles depict various, realistic scenarios related to sexual misconduct within the graduate community. The circle process allows circle members to process the monologues, reflect on complexities with identity and power dynamics within them, name potential barriers to intervention, and think of various ways in which they might respond if faced with similar situations. The circles provide a way to foster collective building of ideas, where participants learn from one another and all input is equally valued. Participants are encouraged to share but can always pass if desired, creating an environment where participation is open but not forced. Due to the participatory nature of the workshop, if you are to arrive more than 20 minutes late, we will ask you to re-register for another workshop session.
If you have any questions about or concerns with taking this workshop, or are in need of an exemption, please contact jhippe@umich.edu or fill out this form. We know some students come to campus having already experienced harm. If you have circumstances that make completing this course challenging, please reach out to the GROPWE team. SAPAC GROWE provides exemptions to the ERC workshop (where requirements are set in place) on a case by case basis. The Program Manager will communicate with students requesting exemptions via email and/or meet with students via zoom meetings to discuss their need for exemptions and provide any relevant and necessary resources.
