GradPathways Going Virtual

Success and Socialization

As more of our work moves online, and onto Zoom and other video conferencing specifically, it can be helpful to consider these tips to protect your meetings.

See this fantastic workshop from Hugh Kearns, on Staying Well (While Social Distancing) for excellent advice on staying well and productive at this strange moment (UCD Login required).

Graduate Writer's Retreats for Spring 2020 will occur online through Zoom. A consultant will be available at the writing retreat and will be able to work for short periods of time with writers through the breakout room function in Zoom.
