UI Graduate Student Senate and Graduate College to host Jakobsen Conference in March

As part of Graduate Student Recognition Week, the Graduate Student Senate and the Graduate College will sponsor the 10th Annual James F. Jakobsen Conference March 28-29, 2008. The event offers graduate students professional development opportunities to present their research in a conference-like atmosphere without having to leave home.

Up to $6,000 will be awarded to top presentations of the five major divisions of the Graduate College. Last year's Forum presented cash awards ranging from one hundred to three hundred dollars to over 40 graduate students.

Abstract submission deadline has been extended to Friday, February 8th by 5:00 p.m. For additional information, click here.
 

Dissertation Support Group meets weekly

The University Counseling Service (UCS) is offering a Dissertation Support Group which meets weekly at the UCS. This is an ongoing weekly self-help and support group for those involved in all stages of the dissertation process. Degree of structure of the program will depend upon the needs and requests of the group participants. The program will address some of the most frequently encountered challenges doctoral students experience while writing the dissertation. It will also suggest strategies to minimize these potential challenges. For more information about the Group and to obtain meeting day and time, please call the UCS at 335-7294.

If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation in order to participate in this program, please contact the UCS at 335-7294 in advance to discuss your needs.
