Over the years, the Graduate School has created hundreds of articles aimed at helping students and postdocs get the most out of their experience at the UW. For the first time, we’ve collected all of these articles in one searchable database, from stories on how to work with your PI or secure funding to insights on how to deal with mental health challenges and impostor syndrome, and much more.
For campus-specific resources and assistance organizations for all three UW campuses, please visit our Campus Resources page.
Please also check out our Student Success Programming & Events page for ongoing offerings from the Graduate School or contact the Office of Graduate Student Affairs with questions or for further assistance.
