In this interactive workshop, participants will explore mentoring as a holistic support system that can include faculty, peers, staff, friends, and professional connections. Through reflection activities and guided planning, participants will identify current areas of support, recognize gaps in their mentoring network, and develop a personalized action plan for building meaningful mentoring relationships aligned with their current goals and needs.

The Fellowships Office in the Office of the Vice Provost for Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Scholars (OGSPS) is offering a three-part workshop series—plus optional interactive help sessions—to support students applying to the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program (NSF GRFP). You are welcome to attend any part of the series independently, though we recommend participating in all three workshops and one or more help sessions.
This workshop is Part 3 of the series and provides guidance on how to craft a clear and compelling research statement. We will discuss how to define a focused research plan, address NSF’s Broader Impacts and Intellectual Merit criteria, and connect the research statement to themes introduced in your personal statement. We’ll also review organization strategies, formatting, appropriate use of references, and supporting details to include.
This hands-on workshop demonstrates how AI and online tools can be used to develop and practice speaking skills, e.g., pronunciation, fluency, and even grammar. In our highly interactive workshop, we will teach participants how to use voice-to-text tools to identify aspects of speech to work on. We will also share online resources for overcoming common challenges. Finally, we will provide concrete, step-by-step guidance on how to use ChatGPT Voice Mode as a low-stakes practice opportunity to build your speaking skills for job interviews, conference presentations, and more.
Think all debt is a financial villain? Think again. In this session, we’ll explore the surprising concept of “good debt”—like student loans or mortgages—that can help build your future, alongside the pitfalls of bad debt, such as high-interest credit cards and impulsive spending. You’ll learn how to distinguish between the two and understand their impact on your financial health.
Many research datasets are collected as signals over time, including audio, physiological measurements, sensor data, and neural recordings. This workshop introduces a practical workflow for preparing signal data for machine learning. Participants will learn the basic ideas of sampling, time-domain and frequency-domain representations, and how tools such as the Fourier transform and spectrogram help reveal patterns in signals. We will also explore simple feature extraction and show how these features can be organized for a basic machine learning task. A Python example will demonstrate the workflow from a raw signal to features and prediction.
