WAGs are small, voluntary groups of graduate students (3-8 participants) who commit to writing regularly by setting goals and holding each other accountable. Join us today for lunch to kickoff your accountability groups, or join virtually here!
Publishing your work is considered one of the primary pillars of a research project, graduate students are often hunted by policies and recommendations to publish several papers as part of their graduate experience, some use their publications as part of their thesis or dissertation and some programs even require students to be a first author in order to be considered for graduation from a PhD program.
How do you even start the process of writing a publication? What are impact factors and how do you decide if your data is impactful enough to be submitted to a particular publication or journal? We have invited a panel of productive and avid publishing faculty at UMBC from our CAHSS college to talk about these and other topics, the intention of this event is to demystify the publishing hardship, learn how to overcome perfectionism (when is my paper ready to be submitted for publication?), learn how to process criticism, how to manage your time to be more productive (when am I supposed to find the time to sit down and write?), how to overcome writers block, and more.
Join for a discussion with our panelists:
Dear Graduate Assistants,
Balancing coursework, research, and assistantships is challenging. Join our Graduate Assistant Town Hall to share concerns, voice your needs, and help shape the Graduate Student Association (GSA).
Tell us what would improve your experience - funding, workload, professional development, or anything else. The GSA is here to advocate for you!
