few or no sessions in hopes to encourage higherattendance in future semesters. Contradictory to the authors and SIs original assumptions, there remains a good value forexam review sessions. This is particularly evident in students who cannot or do not attend SIsessions on a regular basis. However, incorporation of better active learnings strategies in largegroup settings and more training for SIs geared towards large group settings is likely necessary.This may include requesting rooms that can be tailored to breaking up large groups into smallerones (9, 10, 11). Similarly, further encouragement for students to attend regular sessions is vital forthe program to have a larger impact.References[1] E. Kokkelenberg, M. Dillon, and S

resources into one placeand provide a brief overview of why I found each resource to be useful. Unfortunately, whatworked for me will not work for everyone. Therefore, I asked a couple of close friends whocompleted their Ph.D.’s in a similarly short period for some additional resources. However, I amhoping that current and prospective graduate students may find some of these resources helpful totheir success as well.Setting GoalsVagueness and confusion can lead to procrastination and lack of motivation. 1 One way to addclarity is to define clear long-term goals. 1 Covey’s second habit is to “begin with the end inmind.” 2 Both Tracy 1 and Covey 2 emphasize that importance in setting long-term goals to helpmake decisions on what to do in the short

volunteers. We hope tobuild the university’s confidence in our work and create partnerships with departments across thecampus. In fact, other universities have experimented with different funding models includingusing tuition from Capstone Design courses and requiring student fees for use of the space.5Design thinking is an iterative process; as time passes, we hope to get the opportunity to build abigger and better space for the students. This has been an experiment in student engagement, andwe are proud to be a part of it.Bibliography 1. Kurti, S., Kurti, D.L., & Fleming, L (2014). The Philosophy of Educational Makerspaces.

Is that something you have seen? What could we do to overcome this or avoid it all together?Good communication between an advisor/advisee and among various graduate students can help tonavigate some of these challenges and encourage a successful experience for the students.
