PLEASE NOTE: This event was previously called the Teaching Assistant Academy (TAA), but that name now refers to a new year-long program to support students currently working as graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) and graduate instructors (GIs). Students can register for TAA here or in person at the Summit.

The Graduate Student Professional Development Summit is a day-long professional development conference for new and returning graduate students, graduate teaching assistants, and those interested in teaching in the university setting in the future. The Summit provides resource and development opportunities for students across all disciplines. Sessions address the needs of grad students for surviving and thriving in graduate school and for successful teaching and learning. 

The Summit is also a great venue to connect with other new and returning students interested in teaching. We will also hold information sessions about our two-year-long programs for graduate students: the Certificate in University Teaching (CUT) program and the Teaching Assistant Academy (TAA). Students can learn more about which of these programs might be the right community for them.
