Mentor and Graduate Student Strategies for Success

The mentor-graduate student relationship is one of true symbiosis, with the productivity being mutually beneficial and much greater than the sum of the individual accomplishments. This relationship is truly one of direction, communication and teamwork. The School of Interdisciplinary and Graduate Studies sincerely hopes your graduate studies with mentor-based guidance will yield a very productive beginning to a successful career.
