Engagement Opportunities
The Grad Academy offers mid-career students a wide range of workshops, certificates, and programs throughout the year. Mid-career is a terrific time to start working on and adding professional credentials that reflect advanced skill sets. These ‘transferable skills’ are helpful to your degree progression and completion but also show future employers that you will bring these and similar skill sets to your work. Also, at mid-career many students firmly identify their strengths and weaknesses as students; it is a great time to use freely available campus workshops, professional development certifications, grad badges, career development programs, and the like, to address areas of weakness and build on areas of professional strength. Opportunities for mid-career students include Research Certification, Teaching Certification, Mentorship Certification, Financial Literacy and Wellness Badge, Grant Writing 101, Grad Rebel Writing Boot Camp, Grad Rebel Advantage Mentor, Grad Rebel Ambassadors, Rebel Grad Slam: 3-Minute Thesis Competition.
