About the Graduate Education Summit
In response to the evolving landscape of graduate education, we are excited to announce the Graduate Education Summit. As experienced adult learners, our graduate students have unique motivations and preferences that require innovative, tailored academic opportunities and support services. The Summit aims to address these needs. The Summit is open for graduate faculty, staff, and graduate students to attend.
