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.
