The Faculty of Arts & Science’s Office of Graduate Professional Development & Student Success (OGPDSS) supports graduate students' development and degree progress.
We offer a suite of programming tailored to A&S graduate students and work directly with A&S graduate units to offer unit-specific support for graduate professional development.
Programming for A&S Graduate Students
We regularly offer programs and sessions for A&S graduate students to help you develop your professional skills.
A&S Unit-Level Supports
Graduate units and students can work directly with the Office of Graduate Professional Development & Student Success to create or develop professionalization activities.
We are available to:
- Facilitate professional skills workshops (academic or non-academic), including tailored versions of A&S workshops (e.g., “Pathways for PhDs in Linguistics”).
- Contribute to existing unit-level activities (e.g., offering guest presentations to professionalization courses, arranging alumni speakers for career panels).
- Advise on new or existing program offerings (e.g., the creation of curricular or co-curricular professionalization courses).
- Assist and offer feedback on the development of public-facing resources (e.g., alumni and career resource pages for unit websites or Quercus).
