Supporting Graduate Student Success: Designing an Orientation to Graduate Level Writing, Reading, and Citing Practices

When new graduate students start their programs, they may be unaware of the "hidden curriculum" of graduate-level reading, writing, and citing practices. As a result, they may struggle or feel unprepared with faculty's expectations. This lightning talk highlights how an education librarian created an online asynchronous orientation focused on graduate-level reading, writing, and citing practices in collaboration with teaching faculty. Attendees will learn how a collaborative learning program can empower graduate students to develop necessary skills to succeed in graduate school, and why they may consider offering such a program for their learners.
