Our goal is to create a space where graduate students’ perspectives are at the forefront, fostering a rich, collaborative dialogue. This event encourages reflection, connection, and the exchange of insights among graduate students, faculty, staff, and administrators. By listening to and learning from one another, we aim to deepen our understanding of the graduate student experience and explore ways to support and enrich it moving forward.Ìý

Grad Student Survey Results
Along with our graduate student conversation hosts, the event topics and discussion questions will also be influenced by the results of a Fall 2024 survey, in which the CHA received 88 responses from arts and humanities graduate students at CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ. In this survey, we asked students how anxious they were about their career prospects, what career industry they would like to puruse, and if they have any suggestions on how to better their graduate school experience.Ìý
Reflecting on the survey results and the responses, which can be found here, there may be more discussion on how to better support our graduate students in the arts and humanities. You can read more about the survey results and find additional resources for graduate students on our Resources for Humanities & Arts Graduate Students page.
