The Graduate Student Professional Development Summit is a day-long professional development conference for all Graduate Teaching Assistants, Graduate Research Assistants, and Graduate Instructors. The Summit provides resource and development opportunities for teaching assistants across all disciplines. Specialized sessions address the needs of GA's for surviving and thriving in graduate school and for successful teaching and learning. The Summit is also a great venue to connect with other new and returning Graduate Assistants.

Previously called Teaching Assistant Academy, that name now applies to a year-long program that you can learn more about here.
