Graduate Student Development Conference

In order to offer networking opportunities to conference attendees and presenters, we have made some minor modification to the original schedule. Originally slated to run from 12:00-3:30, the GDC is now scheduled for 11:30 - 3:50.

This conference, sponsored by The Graduate School in collaboration with the faculty from all five of the colleges and schools at Montclair State University, provides students with workshop sessions that cover topics specifically for academic and professional development. The conference was developed in response to numerous suggestions from graduate faculty and graduate students alike and from feedback from last year's development conference. Please register for one session per time slot. If you have further questions, contact The Graduate School at 973-655-5147.

I will be attending the Graduate Student Development Conference on September 17, 2011 from 12:00 PM to 3:50 PM; University Hall. Registration will begin at 11:30 AM.

In addition to the day's workshop sessions, we would like to invite you to attend the networking session from 11:30-12:00 to meet, greet and network with other conference attendees, faculty, staff and presenters.
