Enhancing the Graduate & Professional Student Experience

Session Is Over

Vandenberg Room - 2nd Floor Michigan League
University Housing, Center for Campus Involvement (CCI), and Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS) - *Full list in description below*

Graduate & professional students will be the focus on this extended learning session. There is a commonly held misconception graduate and professional students are too focused on their academic experience to invest in their learning and experience outside of the classroom. This session will provide an overview of academic research and assessment data demonstrating the specific needs of graduate and professional students including community development, access to resources, health and wellness, and career preparedness. Residence Education and the Center for Campus Involvement will share how they are addressing these needs and enhancing the graduate and professional student experience. A panel of graduate and professional students will be available to answer questions about their needs and how Student Life can engage this population in meaningful and supportive ways. Attendees will have the opportunity to dialogue with colleagues and reflect on how to serve graduate and professional students holistically.
