This semester a teaching discussion group for graduate students is starting up. They’ll be meeting in the grad lounge one Thursday per month, at 3pm. This month’s meeting is on January 31st.
No set list of topics has been proposed, but the hope is that this will be a place for graduate students interested in becoming better teachers to come and share their concerns, strategies, and hard-won wisdom.

Placement Meeting with Dr. Diana Meyers, UPDATED**
The Grad Placement Meeting with Dr. Meyers will happen on
Tuesday, November 13th, from 1:30-2:30 pm.
The room is CC530.**
Some of you cannot meet at this time, but if you would like to meet with Dr. Meyers regarding placement some other time, you can e-mail her to set up a meeting at meyersdt@earthlink.net.
Input needed re: scheduling a meeting about placement with Dr. Diana Meyers
Message From Dr. Meyers:
Hi All — I’m discovering that some of you have a misconception about placement — namely, that it’s something that only students who are about to finish their dissertations need to think about. NOT SO!!! Throughout your graduate education, you should be taking job placement into account. In the session I volunteered to hold re placement, I’ll be discussing placement as a lengthy diachronic process. So students at all stages of their grad school careers are welcome, indeed encouraged to attend!
If you wish to attend please fill out this doodle link (with the time you are available and with your full First and Last name) by NOON on Friday, November 2nd:
Best, Diana

Feel like you need some assistance in your writing? Most of us, regardless of our degrees and status could benefit from advice from someone who has made it his career to guide people to the next level of their writing ability.
Attend an interactive writing workshop specifically geared to graduate students. This 90 minute session will contextualize the major influences on writing struggles for graduate-level papers, and then feature three elemental areas of sound scholarly writing at the graduate level: organization around a complex and worthwhile purpose, a framed paragraph structure that follows and explores the organizational purpose, and a reassessment of source relationships according to the organizational purpose.
The workshop will be conducted by Michael Meinhardt, English Instructor and is open to both Master’s and Doctoral students from all disciplines.
Registration is required. Space is limited. Please send an email to gradschool@luc.edu. Include the workshop title in the subject heading, and in the message include your full name, academic program, and degree pursuing.
