TEACHING SUPPORT
- Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning (CIRTL)
The CIRTL mission is to enhance excellence in undergraduate education through the development of TAs/faculty and diverse teaching strategies. - Teaching Development Program
This program allows TAs to focus on and document their teaching development efforts. We observe a class session and collect feedback from students, then discuss the results and strategies for improvement. - Institute for International Teaching Assistants
Every year, the Office of Graduate Studies holds a 2-week institute to prepare international teaching assistants for teaching in an American classroom. - Preparing Future Faculty Program
Advanced doctoral students interested in pursuing a faculty position learn about faculty roles and responsibilities and gain direct knowledge of the diversity of higher education institutions through a structured mentoring experience with partner institution mentors. Runs from summer to fall.
RESEARCH SUPPORT
- Nebraska Research Days
Graduate students present their research at the annual poster session and compete for travel awards. We also offer workshops about opportunities and resources to support research activities. - Mentoring
A handbook on mentoring to help you effectively mentor and be a successful mentee is available online. - Fellowship and Grant Writing Consultations
If you are working on an NSF GRFP application or another fellowship or grant application you can submit it for feedback. - Travel Grants
