Resources for EEB graduate students

The EEB Graduate Handbook provides an overview of the department, details of all graduate degree programs, and variety of other types of information designed to help students navigate their graduate program. The handbook is updated annually; please contact the GAAC if you find errors or have questions about information provided.

Although the Handbook contains links to many of the key resources you will need as a graduate students, here are a few of the most important ones:

General academic issues: UConn Graduate School

Your rights as a Graduate Assistant (TA or RA): UConn Graduate Employee Union (especially this page)

Community:

The department’s graduate students run their own Graduate Student Association, which we encourage all graduate students to engage with for support and advice from your peers. During the spring semester each year, the GSA organizes a Graduate Research Symposium where students can present their work to the department.

UConn’s Graduate Students of Color Association “provides fellowship, advocacy, support, mentorship, and love to graduate students of Color attending UConn“.

Other places on campus where you might find people or resources that are helpful include:

Health and wellness:

Problems not easily addressed elsewhere: The UConn Ombuds Office provides “a confidential, neutral resource for staff, faculty, and graduate students to express concerns, identify options to address workplace conflicts, facilitate productive communication, and surface responsible concerns regarding university policies and practices.”
