The Graduate School’s
Spring 2023
Timely Topics Series
Timely Topics is a series of opportunities to engage with subject matter experts on topics relevant to those who support and advise graduate students and programs. Every session is available to all UConn faculty and staff. We hope you’ll join us for the upcoming session:
Advising and Mentoring Historically Excluded or Racially Oppressed Graduate Students
From a deficit perspective, we, as faculty and staff, are not all humanizing the graduate school experience in ways that are culturally responsive or inclusive. From an asset perspective, we have a lot of room for growth to help retain minoritized scholars and continue to help their development and success as professional researchers and members of society. Join us for a conversation that looks at both sides of the coin and leave with action items and ideas to make change.
Date: Thursday, February 2, 2023
Time: 1pm – 2pm
Facilitated by David G. Embrick, Associate Professor in Sociology and Africana Studies & Office for Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) Affiliate, and Stephany Santos, Assistant Professor in Residence, Biomedical Engineering & Office for Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) Affiliate
