Dear Colleagues,
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> Please let your graduate students know that the Graduate Division has significantly expanded its offerings to help graduate students succeed at UCR. We now have GRADPREP: The
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">G</span>raduate <span style="text-decoration: underline;">
PR</span>ofessional <span style="text-decoration: underline;">E</span>ducation and
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">P</span>lacement Center, which provides a variety of services to meet the needs of UCR’s diverse graduate student population. Housed in Graduate Division, GradPREP offers programs and workshops, drop-in consultations,
appointments, and other resources. The members of the GradPREP team look forward to working with the graduate student community to develop writing, teaching, and speaking and to promote professional development.</div><p class="SUBHEAD"><span style="color: #000000;"> GradPREP comprises </span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #000000;">Teaching Assistant Development Program (TADP)</span></li><li><span style="color: #000000;">Graduate Student Resource Center (GSRC)</span> </li><li><span style="color: #000000;">Graduate Student Mentoring Program (GSMP)</span></li><li><span style="color: #000000;">Graduate Writing Resource Center (GWRC)</span> </li><li><span style="color: #000000;">University Teaching Certificate Program (UTC)</span></li><li><span style="color: #000000;">English Language Development Program (ELDP)</span></li></ul>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any of your graduate students needing help in any of these areas, should come by to take advantage of these services. While some, such as the University Teaching Certificate program are quarter long and require advance registration, others like the Graduate
Writing Resource Center, where students can get help with everything from grant applications to their dissertations and the English Language Development Program, where students can come to work on their speaking and comprehension skills are available with
only a minimum of advance notice.</div>
