Source image credit: statue-of-libertyThe GradPost has written extensively about the importance of mentoring relationships in graduate school. Indeed, over the last decade or so, it has become something of a buzzword in many other higher education venues as well.
In an effort to support and expand mentoring at UCSB, we are launching a new recurring column on The GradPost called "The Doctor Is In." Several times each quarter, a panel of UCSB faculty members across a variety of disciplines will answer graduate students' questions about topics such as research, work-life balance, careers in academia, and much more.
We are very excited about this new column, and we invite graduate students to submit their questions via Shawn Warner-Garcia, Graduate Division’s Professional Development Peer Advisor.
