<Title>Be an Effective Group Member in Graduate School</Title>
<Tagline>a Grit in Practice Insight</Tagline>

<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><p>Learning how to be an effective group member is one of the core 
    lessons in graduate school. As a graduate student, you’re going to have 
    to work as part of a group at some point in the course of your program. If doing so makes your stomach churn with unease, it might be helpful to view the experience as a great opportunity for growth.</p>
    <p>To grow, it’s necessary to get uncomfortable. It’s through facing 
    challenges that you will learn what you’re capable of doing in this 
    world. If you dream of a career filled with purpose and fulfillment, 
    learning to work well with others is crucial. When you succeed as part 
    of a group, you become an empowered professional who can empathize, 
    lead, draw upon the strengths of others, collaborate, and essentially 
    add great value to yourself and others.</p><p><br></p><p><a href="http://gritinaction.umbc.edu/group-member-graduate-school/?utm_campaign=gip-group%20member&amp;utm_source=linkedin.com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=blog" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Continue to full article...</a> <br></p><p><br></p><p>Come say hello to us on <a href="https://twitter.com/umbc_dps" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Twitter</a>!
