Slide 11: The Graduate Student

Slide 12: Graduate work is different in many ways from undergraduate work. As a graduate student you will be

expected to take initiative for your learning and application of the coursework. Clear communication

through writing and presentation tools will also be critical. There are three key attributes that a

Graduate student must embrace as they move through their degree. These are Rigor, Research and

Leadership.

Slide 13: Rigor focuses on your willingness to be challenged in your thinking and academic performance. It

requires you to stretch beyond what is comfortable and to be open to ideas and opinions that are

new or different from your own. You will need to push yourself to get the most out of your learning

experience, as you apply it beyond the classroom and into your personal and professional life. Rigor

is about connecting what you’re learning with the world around you.

Slide 14: Research is a large part of a graduate program, you’ll examine the research of others so you can

apply effective practices to your own work in the classroom and in the world. The staff at the library

are always ready to help you in your research goals. But research is not just about the work of

academics. It’s important for you to stay current in the field by subscribing to industry journals, blogs

and websites for trends, best practices and professional news. Attending conferences and

professional events and joining online communities are also excellent ways to learn about the

profession.

Slide 15: As you move through your degree, you will find peers and colleagues coming to you for

recommendations and information. As you begin to take on the role of mentor and leader you will

learn that leadership entails new responsibilities to provide guidance that is grounded in truth and

effective practice. As a leader you will also find yourself stepping into a role of service and support to

your community. Your newfound knowledge and skills will be needed to help others grow and

integrate the standards and practices that you have learned.

your success, the goals and activities in your College, and the roles and expectations of a Graduate

Student.
