Many organizations and centers at UC offer professional development services and resources helpful for current graduate students.
Writing and Communication Support
- The Academic Writing Center offers graduate student writing support for documents such as theses, dissertations, journal articles, grant proposals, and materials for the job search.

Pews does this by (1) Increasing engagement with science by connecting the university to community partners and the public; (2) Improving quality of science engagement by promoting dialogue among and benefit for all stakeholders; (3) Innovating forms of science engagement by drawing on philosophy and other humanities, natural and social sciences, and science education.

CET&L supports all members of UC’s teaching community including graduate students who are instructors of record, Teaching Assistants (TAs), and those who are interested in teaching and may pursue a career in academia. All graduate students are welcome at any of CET&L’s workshops. Register for CET&L workshops through Faculty Development OneStop.
