Graduate Series
The Graduate Series seeks to engage graduate and post-graduate students in an intentional time to network, learn, and grow in community with one another. At these events, you will have the opportunity to learn from various departments and professors to gain personal and professional development skills to prepare you for life outside of Graduate School.
Workshop structures range from informal panel discussions to hands-on instructional sessions and take the time to utilize our faculty and staff. Our goal is to provide you with engaging and informative perspectives to help you further develop as professionals, leaders, and people of faith in the workplace.
