What Students Are Saying

headshot of Elisabeth Cuerrier-Richer

"As an international student, I am continuously impressed by the resources offered by The Graduate College to help student success, as I did not encounter anything similar at my previous institutions. I am very grateful for the Shop Talks because they have helped me grow as a writer, improve my presentation skills, feel more structured in my finances and gain more self-confidence on the job market. In short, they have become crucial to my development as a graduate student and professional in academia."

– Elisabeth Cuerrier-Richer, PhD, Department of Anthropology

"As a current graduate student working towards my M. Ed. In Student Affairs in Higher Education, Shop Talks have been essential to my program by helping me understand the process of research, walking me through helpful links and tools for classes, and helping me find new ways to fund my degree. The Shop Talks have taught me to be a better student by reaching out to and using the resources around me on and off campus. I have grown in my program, as a student, and as a person in learning about these topics."

– Kayanna Resetar, M. Ed. Student Affairs in Higher Education

"I gain much more than academic support, but a set of handy tools to bring along in the next stage of my professional journey."

– Crosville Williams, Master's in Public Administration
