In the past year, the Graduate School (GS) has expanded the range of workshops it offers to graduate students and postdoctoral scholars, adding sessions on topics ranging from time management to writing a grant proposal to identifying transferable skills. The goal of the effort has been twofold: to offer more holistic support to the students and scholars the GS serves and to begin designing clear pathways for students to follow to reach their degrees and beyond.

Come join the Graduate School for our events on Maryland Day, the University of Maryland’s annual public open house. Stop by our tent on McKeldin Mall to learn more about how the Graduate School enables student success for the University of Maryland’s nearly 11,000 graduate students and join us for the following activities: Be a GradTerp!
