February 19, 2009 ** SETTING EXPECTATIONS AND RESOLVING CONFLICTS for GRADUATE STUDENTS & POSTDOCS 9:00 a.m. - 12 noon HUB, room 106B Dr. Juan Guerra, Associate Dean, UW Graduate School and Dr. Julie Brockman, Michigan State University To register, please contact Joe Cravens at jcravens@u.washington.edu. Registration is limited to 40. According to recent data, only about 60% of all doctoral students complete their graduate programs of study. While there are many reasons for this (i.e., graduate school is not for them, they are not in the right program or university, they lack adequate financial support, etc.), unclear expectations and serious conflicts between graduate students and faculty also play a critical role. This workshop is one opportunity to provide graduate students and faculty members with ideas on how to set and meet explicit expectations and resolve conflicts in an effort to reduce attrition rates while also improving the graduate experience.

April 22, 2009 Graduate students are often asked to include a teaching
statement in applications for jobs, fellowships, or grants. However, many have
limited opportunities to gain formal teaching experience. This session will
discuss ways of effectively writing about your experiences in both formal and
informal teaching settings and will help you identify a range of possibilities
for getting additional teaching experience. Whether you're about to enter the
job market or just beginning graduate school, it's never too early to start
assembling materials in support of a compelling statement. Questions we will cover include: To request disability accommodation, contact the
