Upcoming Events

Graduate Awards Ceremony

Join the Office of Graduate Studies as it celebrates the accomplishments of KU graduate students. Awards recognize the contributions that graduate students make to the research, teaching, and service mission of the University. Please contact Graduate Studies with questions about the event.

Humanities Grant Development Workshop: What Happens After You Hit Click Submit?

The decision to fund or not fund a proposal typically lies in the hands of a review panel, but just who are these reviewers and how can you convince them to fund your application? In this workshop participants will hear from reviewers and participate in a mock review process while learning how to apply insight from these experiences to their next application. Please register to attend.

Intercultural Competency in the Classroom

Developing intercultural competence is an essential part of teaching. This session will include tools and strategies for successful communication and global awareness in an international classroom. We’ll discuss empathy, cultural understanding and moving beyond stereotypes, among other topics. Register here! This session is limited to 20 participants. Once we reach capacity, we will start a waiting list and you will be notified of future workshops.

Red Hot Graduate Research

Red Hot Graduate Research is intended to bring together graduate researchers from all disciplines. The format of these sessions is inspired by Red Hot Research, which features short, slide-based talks that introduce audiences to a topic. In this iteration, Red Hot Graduate Research will feature five graduate researchers speaking for six minutes each.

Audience members are encouraged to connect with the speakers (and each other) during breaks. We hope that through these sessions, graduate students will have an opportunity for cross-disciplinary discourse that will in turn give new perspectives on their work and provide a forum for future work in their chosen research fields.

Presenters are:

• Dana Peterson, Geography
• Neill Kennedy, American Studies
• Pietro de Mello, Ecology & Evolutionary Biology
• Imani Wadud, American Studies
• Uzair Latif, Physics and Astronomy

Shut Up & Write Tuesdays

Shut Up & Write Tuesdays is a global network for writers that offers committed, condensed time to write and built-in feedback from peers. Visit the Commons at KU on Tuesdays to participate and write.
