Professional Development

To combat the silo effect and the insular nature of department- or college-specific mentorship programs, GSMN will offer interdisciplinary networking events and year-round programming focused on holistic wellness, mental health awareness, professional development, and scholarly communication. In partnership with other UCR organizations, departments, and units, GSMN will deliver community-building events, activities, academic strategies, and enrichment workshops.

Professional Development Programs are slated to include:
