Abstract

In this feature, we highlight how graduate students at the University of Memphis thrive through mentorship, community, and hands-on opportunities. From Angela Graves pursuing advanced degrees while working at UofM to insights from Thriving in Graduate School: Advice from Students and Alumni, these experiences showcase resilience, balance, and growth. Key events like the Grad School Meet & Greet, Navigating Grad School Successfully as an International Student, the Student Research Forum, and GSA Awards support student development. Backed by leaders like Dr. Deborah Tollefsen, and with Memphis emerging as an innovation hub through partnerships like Epicenter Memphis and CO.LAB, UofM students are well-positioned to succeed both on campus and beyond.
