The first semester of graduate school can be a stressful time of transition, and international students may face additional challenges in transitioning to graduate school in the United States. In this session designed particularly for incoming international students, you will learn about the research on common challenges graduate students face in their first year, and hear from experienced international students about strategies they used to successfully navigate these challenges. Resources that are particularly helpful in supporting students in their transition will be shared.
