Join the Conversation with GPPD

[Cynthia Korpan]

Dear Colleagues,

The POD Graduate Student, Professional Student, & Postdoctoral Scholar Development (GPPD) Special Interest Group (SIG) invites all members to join us for an unconference style open meeting on Zoom on Thursday, February 26, 12-1 pm Eastern Time (9-10 am Pacific Time). We welcome all who are interested in attending, even if you are not a member of the GPPD SIG. However, please note that this session will focus on topics related to being an educational developer supporting graduate students, teaching assistants, or post-doctoral fellows. 

 

We will spend most of our time in breakout rooms to allow for informal small group conversations, with time to discuss several topics of interest. If you’re interested in joining us, please fill out this registration form to help us get a sense of what topics you’re interested in discussing. Everyone who registers will receive a Zoom link the day before the event.

We hope you can join us!

Aswathy, Cynthia, Divya, Kimberly, and Sarah
