    Using Annual Reviews to Help Graduate Students Succeed

    Providing feedback to graduate students is a vital part of ensuring their success. As part of our ongoing effort to foster good graduate student mentoring and facilitate communication between graduate advisors and advisees, The Graduate School has developed resources to help departments and advisors use annual reviews for doctoral and MFA students. The resources include a template that programs can use as a guide and modify to meet their specific needs.  This Timely Topics session will discuss why annual reviews are important to graduate student success, review The Graduate School Annual Review template, and provide guidance on conducting annual reviews.
