First Generation & New Grad Student Resources

The Graduate School is pleased to provide online resources dedicated to the success of our first-generation graduate students.  Both first-gen and new graduate students will find these resources helpful to effectively navigate their graduate school journey. 

Below is a prescribed list of prerecorded core-skill workshops that students can watch at their leisure and as their schedules permit.  In addition, we have provided student service resource links where students can find supplemental support in the areas of graduate-level writing, research discovery, and health and wellness.
