Setting Expectations
Presented by: Dr. Tony Nunez, Associate Dean, The Graduate School
Dr. Judith Stoddart, Senior Associate Dean, The Graduate School
Graduate program handbooks provide valuable information about the expectations and values of the specific programs. However, many expectations concerning graduate education are not always obvious or explicit, and misalignment of the expectations of students and their faculty advisors can be the source of conflicts and result in wasted time. This short workshop explores effective ways to clarify and align expectations in order to minimize conflicts and enhance productivity.
