Graduate and Professional Skills Series (GPSS)
These workshops provide the opportunity to develop the skills necessary to be effective and professional graduate students. Please note that although the Graduate and Professional Skills Series (GPSS) was created with graduate students in mind, all NYU students, scholars, and their spouses are welcome to attend any or all of the sessions. All sessions are free and many are done in collaboration with the Wasserman Center for Career Development.
GPSS sessions are open to all NYU students and their spouses/partners. Spouses, partners, and visiting non-degree students should contact Alison Jackson at anj1@nyu.edu for access to sessions held at the Wasserman Center. Emails should include the name of the program, the student's name, and the student's NYU ID number.
The Office for International Students and Scholars (OISS) welcomes suggestions for GPSS topics. Please contact Simone Levine at simone.levine@nyu.edu
