Professional Development
The Department of Communication is committed to the professional development of its graduate students. In addition to research colloquia, research lunches in each of the areas of the department, data sessions, reading groups and other research occasions, the department sponsors professional development workshops for graduate students.
These workshops are taught by department faculty members, department alumni and other experts as needed.
The department offers four to five workshops a year. Information on upcoming workshops will be available soon.
Recent workshops have focused on:
- Academic job searches
- Applying to PhD programs
- MA and PhD comprehensive examinations
- New faculty members experiencing/balancing work–life issues
- Non-academic job searches
- Publishing and presenting scholarship
- Qualitative methods
