Awards & Honors

Congratulations to Courtney McDermott who has has been selected for the University of Utah Rising Star in Neuroscience Symposium. This program seeks to provide career development and mentorship for exceptional late-stage graduate students in neuroscience, with a strong focus on spotlighting scientists from under-represented minority groups. Activities at the multi-day workshop in May include:

Affinity Groups for Graduate Students

Affinity groups provide space for graduate students to (1) Build community with peers who share experiences, backgrounds, & social identities; (2) Connect with personal and professional support; and (3) Deepen collective learning around shared interests.

Event Description

One responsibility of a TA is to make sure that all students have the opportunity to succeed in the classroom by working with the Office of Disability Services (ODS) to offer reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities. This workshop, co-led by experienced TAs and ODS, will familiarize TAs with the accommodations process and discuss the resources available to TAs and students.

Event Description

Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows will learn about constructing an NIH fellowship application. This is also a very valuable workshop for graduate students who are writing their thesis proposals. 

March 3 from 12-1:30pm

This session will be held in-person in Piscataway at EOSHI and New Brunswick at CINJ. Lunch will be served at both locations. Others can participate via Zoom.

There will also be a second optional session on March 16 from 12-1:30pm for those who want to receive feedback on their Specific Aims pages. 

This workshops is sponsored by School of Graduate Studies-BHS, Office of Postdoctoral Advancement and NJ ACTS

Event Description

Summer classes present TAs with different challenges and opportunities, both in person and online. Because these courses have both a compressed time period and longer classes, instructors need to find different ways of presenting their material. This workshop will present ways to teach effectively during the summer, in a traditional classroom and in an online classroom.

Research Communication

If you’re interested in pursuing a career beyond academia, one of the key skills you will need is to tell people who are not necessarily well-versed in your field of study about your research and scholarship.
