Graduate Student Affairs

Graduate Student Affairs is dedicated to providing students with the support they need at each stage of their graduate experience. We offer a wide range of programs and workshops throughout the year. These are designed to enhance graduate education outside the classroom, featuring such topics as time management, the academic and nonacademic job search, and dealing effectively with a dissertation committee. We provide individual support and advocate for policies and programs that best help students meet their educational goals. Sometimes certain questions or concerns arise for graduate students and they wish to seek confidential advice from a person outside their departments. The Rackham Conflict Resolution Officer and the Director of Graduate Student Affairs are available for private meetings whenever needed. Students also can look to Rackham for social events during which they can meet other graduate students from a wide spectrum of disciplines and backgrounds. Our office also provides a variety of on-line resources and publications that will help students navigate policies, find an organization, and stay informed about the many events on our campus.

Your graduate student experience is important to us. Please contact Graduate Student Affairs if we can answer any questions or to find out more about our services.
