Abstract

The panel discussion is led by Dr. Katy Luchini Colbry (Michigan State University) and Dr. Catherine Berdanier (Pennsylvania State University). The session will offer theory-based best practices for research group leadership and management in light of graduate education and socialization literature; applied to personal contexts. As a result of this session, participants will be able to approach the “care and keeping” of their graduate students from a literature-based and scholarly perspective, noting elements of graduate socialization that affect student development, success, and persistence.
