Webinar: Graduate Student Support: An Open Forum for Discussion

This session is an open forum for faculty and lecturers to share their experiences and challenges with supervising graduate students and supporting virtual graduate classes and programs during COVID-19.

This session will host three breakout rooms. We invite you to share your experiences, challenges, and best practices with:

• Staying connected with graduate students virtually
• Helping graduate students pivot their research
• Supporting virtual graduate classes

These breakout sessions will not be recorded to facilitate an open, honest, and productive discussion in a community of practice.

Prior to and during the session, please consider sharing useful resources around graduate supervision, research, and programs during COVID-19. Summary materials, including resources shared during this forum, will be made available online.
