ONE DAY..

2 days...

We're counting down the days for this year's Graduate Student Research Symposium! Our Symposium committee is hard at work getting the virtual platform ready for the participants and the USM community. We're very excited to launch our first virtual symposium!

To help count us down we're going to learn a little bit more about the namesake of our annual symposium... Who was Susan A. Siltanen? How was she part of the USM community? What impact did she leave?

3 days left...

Happy Graduate Student Appreciation Week!

This week we have workshops available through the University Libraries (sponsored by Academic Success Center), check out the zoom schedule below!
You should have received the zoom link to access these virtual workshops in your USM email.

We also have two scheduled events!

Stay tuned, more details coming soon!!

It's the beginning of Week 11. There's only one month left. Show the end of the semester who's boss. 💪💪

(A day late, but still valid)

Hey graduate students are you having trouble fine tuning that dissertation or do you need some guidance on how to get your ideas to paper? Make sure to check out the Research Support Center on campus for help in SSPS, captone work, REF research and even statistics! All meetings need to be reserved in advance and will be conducted through Zoom.

Remember to use your resources on campus! We want you to not only succeed in your classes but to also succeed in your career! 🤓💪✨

Good morning USM graduate students! How are you all feeling? It's the start of week 4 of Spring 2021, so, congratulations we're more than a quarter of the way done with the semester! This year has been quite a roller coaster, with quarantining and an overload of online classes, it seems like feeling burnt out is inevitable. GSS wants to remind you that it's ok to feel this way, but to try your best to stay focused on pushing through this semester.

Take a few minutes from your research/labs/readings this morning to enjoy your coffee and read this article by Emily Comeau...

"Let’s be honest here, grad school is HARD. Whether you’re working on a master’s degree or a Ph.D., or whether you’re writing a thesis, a term paper, or a dissertation, finishing your program can feel like a slog sometimes. Staying motivated is something that many of us struggle with. But luckily, there are ways for grad students to push past the many pressures they face and to stay motivated...."
