BIPOC Voices at UMass is an initiative designed to celebrate points of positivity from our diverse body of graduate students. Every other week, one student will share how their personal trials, successes, and experiences have helped them to thrive in their studies at UMass.

If you are interested in sharing your story, we would love to have you! Please email oie@grad.umass.edu for further details regarding your submission.

Unsure about how to bring clarity and concision to your academic writing? This “clinic” will be a combination of workshop and writing session; we will practice three different techniques for editing academic projects. Each exercise is calibrated to help you learn your own syntax, take the confusion out of complex sentences, and bring clarity of thought into the structure of your prose. 

Are you hearing that you should negotiate your job offer, but feeling unsure about how to do this?  If you are considering jobs outside academia or non-faculty positions inside academia, join this session to learn concrete strategies to negotiate with confidence.
