In addition to completing required coursework, to be considered as making academic progress, all doctoral students are expected to become actively involved in a variety of professional activities (e.g., including presentations, publications, grant writing, and college/university teaching). In consultation with your adviser, use the below worksheet to develop a plan for these activities and document the final outcome. You will be asked to report these activities as part of the annual doctoral review by the Graduate Studies Committee.
