The graduate student’s professional/internship experience can be an invaluable opportunity to explore nuances of power and identity dynamics, competing values of autonomy and structure, etc. In this session, we will share our own experiences as graduate student interns/staff at the University of Michigan, highlighting our explorations of the aforementioned nuances and competing values. With the group we will explore our interactions with graduate student staff and share best practices, reflecting on how to make our work environments inclusive, supportive, challenging, and meaningful for graduate students to be their best selves.
