as a frameworkfor promoting professional development and community building for graduate students.Building on the themes of the book, this program sought to promote reflection amongparticipants about the choices and actions that women can take to position themselves forsuccess—and encouraged exploration of students’ personal vision of success. Results of pre-and post-tests, along with observational data gathered by the facilitators, indicated that studentswere concerned largely by two topics: concerns about how to balance their career ambition andtheir goals for a fulfilling personal life (whatever that may be), and how to have positive andbeneficial relationship with mentors or advisors. Students also shared their challenges andfrustration

Most recently, the National Labor Relations Board has decided that graduate students atprivate institutions are in fact employees and deserve all the rights that employees in the US areentitled to, including unionization [20]. For graduate students at public universities,determination of graduate student workers as employees is left up to state legislature and/or theuniversity depending on how the state law is written. Sometimes state legislature will allowuniversities themselves to classify graduate student workers and other times, the state legislaturewill explicitly exclude

A study of an entire graduateacademic community at an R1 STEM department shows that communicating about science withpeers, talking about teaching hurdles, and engaging in mentoring relationships contribute heavilyto a sense of belonging [8]. Fostering community and creating channels for communication withgraduate students and their peers and faculty members could provide these opportunities tocirculate information about career opportunities, attract job recruiters, and lead to perceivedacademic success.To assess community needs, this study uses community-led, stakeholder-centric, participatoryresearch.

learning facilitators (PLFs) as they first seek to support theircapacity to teach, and in doing so, also gain insight from them. Many faculty report seekingfeedback from their PLFs as they make instructional decisions. Taking this further, some haveargued that students should be co-designers. However, engaging teams of students and faculty inthis way presents a clear power imbalance [24], but one that researchers have asserted can beovercome by positioning students as collaborators and discussing points of view and insightsgained from these different vantage points. Others have argued that because of the powerdynamics, an intermediary such as an expert in teaching and learning is needed to formsuccessful student-faculty design partnerships [25

However, the expectations for disciplinary socialization are muchstronger within the apprenticeship model of graduate education in the U.S. As graduate studentswork under a particular member of an academic discipline, they are able to participate fully inthe activities, the expertise, and the communication patterns of the discipline11,12

Among graduate students who responded “Yes”,it appeared that they heard this sentiment most often from friends (11 of 15) and colleagues (10of 15). About half said advisers or mentors were behind these comments (7 of 15). Only 5 of 15said family members were behind them. One person wrote that professors/ the chair told themthis, and one person wrote that random people say it when their career comes up.
