Navigating the Hidden Curriculum of Graduate School: Making the Invisible, Visible

A Thriving in Graduate School Series Event (TIGS)

This online session will introduce the concept of the hidden curriculum (the unspoken and unwritten norms, rules, and expectations) of graduate school. Graduate students are invited to attend this event to learn about the hidden curriculum, how it can impact your graduate journey, and informational tools to help you be successful. A panel of current UW graduate students and alumni will share their insights and experiences. For this fall event, we are partnering with the Center for International Relations & Cultural Leadership Exchange (CIRCLE). 

Free and open to all UW graduate students, including first-generation graduate students and graduate students from diverse perspectives and experiences.  

Panel topics will include: 

• Strategies to identify your academic, professional, and personal goals 

• How to learn about what is expected of you as a graduate student 

• Developing a network of support to help you be successful 

• The importance of career exploration  

• Understanding the hidden costs of graduate school  

Panelists: 

• Jason M. Cundrawijaya, 2nd Year Master’s Student in Mechanical Engineering 

• Anh Do, 2nd Year Master’s Student in Information Management 

• Lamar Foster, PhD in Educational Policy, Organizations, & Leadership (2022)
