Graduate Student Success Sessions

There is one October Success Sessions and one in November.  The Writing Center will teach you how to proofread on October 18 and help you gear up for your thesis on November 14.  Each session will last approximately an hour.  Students who attend the sessions will be entered to win a $40 gift card to Target.  The more sessions you attend, the greater your chance to win!  The drawing will be held after the last session in November.  Click here to view the schedule!

Graduate Students are also encouraged to attend the Student Academic Success Sessions.  Click here to view the schedule.  

Research Grants for Graduate Students

The purpose of Research Grants for Graduate Students is to support research and creative activities initiated and conducted by SIUE classified graduate students to enhance their academic progress. SIUE classified graduate masters-level students may submit a proposal for RGGS funding if the following conditions are met:

  1. Good academic standing (3.0 GPA with at least 6 completed hours in the graduate program),
  2. Enrollment in graduate-level coursework as a degree-seeking masters-level graduate student during the academic term for which they are seeking funding. Previous RGGS recipients are ineligible for a second grant.

Application Deadline November 1, 2016.  Proposals received after the deadline will not be reviewed for funding.

The RGGS Workshop to learn how to write and apply for the grant will be held on Wednesday, October 19 from 4pm-5pm in the Graduate School Conference Room, Rendleman Hall Room 2214.

Visit the Graduate School website for more information.

Resource Highlight - Campus Recreation

Do you want to ski in Winter Park, Colorado?  Campus Recreation offers annual skiing trips each winter.  

They're Family Friendly!  They have open hours in the fitness center and pool for immediate family members, dive-in movies, disc golf, and a climbing gym.  

Campus Recreation has on campus facilities for health and wellness, aquatics, and club sports for graduate students.  If exploring the state is what you'd prefer, you can rent outdoor gear for a reasonable price!  Most of the activities and services are already included in your semester fees, so take advantage of this great resource.
