Abstract

Stephen Chong: The Care and Feeding of Advisors

The relationship with your advisor is perhaps the most important of your academic career, and will definitely have a large impact on your time at grad school. In this student-only brownbag, we'll be presenting and discussing the following:

- issues you should think about when choosing an advisor;

- creating and maintaining a healthy relationship with your advisor;

- resources for finding out more.

While this brownbag will be most useful for first and second years, it includes issues and ideas that are relevant at all levels of grad school.

The slides the talk (as well as a bunch of other links of advice for grad students) are at
