Grad School: Catch-Up #2

a

I have just met up with my contact at the Grad School for a catch-up.

Aside from updating her on my activity this Semester, I also learnt about activity from their side:

• last Friday they hosted the yearly Grad School Guest Lecturer event. The speaker this year was Dr Gillian Tett, an assistant editor for the Financial Times.

• a new project called Adept is coming to campus, which specifically focuses on increasing the employability of postgraduates. I am planning on meeting with the coordinator after Christmas to learn how postgraduates can benefit from this service. Until then, more information can be found by hitting the top link here.

• the Grad School will also be helping us spread the word about the NUS research into postgraduates who teach (PGTs) which was launched today. More on that here.

• we will also be using their networks to recruit a Postgraduate Research Rep for our Association.

All in all, a very helpful catch-up.
