Kathleen Moore, Jonathan Turner & Monica Munaretto - Institutional Activity Supporting Graduate Student Needs
Most of the student supports on our campuses are designed with the undergraduate student in mind and may not meet the needs of our diverse graduate student population for professional development, career training, wellness and mental health. The challenges faced by graduate students are not universal to all post-Âsecondary students.
In this CIHE Speaker Series Panel Discussion student services professionals and researchers will discuss the needs of this student population and will share how universities are improving services for graduate students. They will also share recent findings on the graduate student experience and provide insight into what more can be done.
