The Building Success Across the Graduate Life Cycle workshop is designed for pre-tenure faculty members and others who are new to a supervisory role at the University of Toronto. In this interactive session, you will learn:

• Key milestones and policies you need to know as a graduate supervisor
• Best practices in selecting and recruiting students, and matching research interests
• How to co-create student-centered academic plans and professional experiences
• How to document student progress and tips on providing effective feedback
• Ways U of T can support your development and success as a supervisor

This workshop will offer practical advice, grounded in discussion of realistic case studies of supervisory practice at the University of Toronto, and includes perspectives from peer faculty recognized for their outstanding graduate supervision.

Note: you will be asked to answer additional questions when you register.

We strive to create accessible event spaces that suit the needs of all attendees. If there are any accessibility concerns we can address, or if you have any questions regarding eligibility to attend, please contact lynn.ossher@utoronto.ca
