Conference: Building a Positive Supervisory Relationship

Perhaps the most important relationship you have as a graduate student is with your supervisor. Good student-supervisor relationships are associated with higher completion rates and faster times to completion. The relationship requires clear communication and shared expectations. Easy to say, but not always easy to do.

Join the Faculty of Graduate Studies for this half-day conference to explore the dynamics of the student-supervisor relationship and how they can be optimized. This event is for you whether you’re a new graduate student who wants to learn strategies and best practice or an experienced graduate student who wants to share what you’ve learned.
