Overview
Graduate school can be overwhelming; there are new roles and responsibilities to learn and new people to meet and work with. By knowing how to build and join a community, TAs can embrace other forms of support and collaboration that nurture their professional development and facilitate cultural and social integration. Workshop participants will reflect on their expectations and learn how to navigate integration mechanisms through community building. We will explore how, as graduate TAs, you can improve your experience with students, peers, and faculty.
EVENT FORMAT: This workshop is an on-campus, in-person event.
EVENT FACILITATOR: Yasmine Haiti, PhD Candidate, Political Science, yhaiti2@uic.edu
