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:
Neurodiversity and the Advisor/Advisee Relationship: Supporting and Empowering Neurodiverse Grad Students (in STEM and beyond)
In this session, we will discuss our findings from a series of focus groups centered around the experiences of neurodiverse graduate students in STEM programs and, specifically, the impact their advisors have on their experience. In this discussion, you will learn more about ways to support and empower neurodiverse graduate students in their programs.
