Are you the first in your family to go to college? If so, then perhaps navigating graduate school has its share of joys
and challenges.

Come enjoy lunch and talk to other first-generation college graduate students about their experiences.

LCFF - Reflections on Science Communication
Monday May 8, noon @ DCAL
Sign-up: http://libcal.dartmouth.edu/event/2697936
In May’s LCFF, we’ll reflect on how science is communicated by discussing two articles that were published in conjunction with the March for Science. In order to cultivate a community focused on teaching and learning amongst graduate students and postdocs, DCAL has established a Learning Community for Future Faculty (LCFF). The focus of this group is to share the rewards and challenges of college teaching, while digging a bit deeper into best practices and techniques for teaching. The topics are chosen by the group and sessions are facilitated by grad students and postdocs. The LCFF meets monthly on the 2nd Monday of the month. We’re looking for a facilitators for upcoming sessions on topics recommended by the group or chosen by the facilitator. If you’d like more teaching experience, consider volunteering!

Gear Up For Research for the Arts &Sciences!
Wednesday, May 10th, 3:00-5:00 pm in the Baker Library Main Hall
This event will be useful for graduate students and post-docs in the arts and sciences, no matter where you are in your research and scholarship. Drop by anytime between 3-5 pm to connect with people who provide resources, tools, and consultation services, from proposal development to funding to publication.
Refreshments!

Hi there STEPS,

On May 9 we'll be having lunch with Shannon Hall, a local resident and science journalist who's had articles featured all over the place. She's had cover stories for New Scientist and Sky & Telescope, and was most recently published by National Geographic and NBC.

She'll be leading a discussion about science journalism, her path from scientist to journalist, science outside of academia, and any other current events that anyone wants to get into.

Come for the discussion, stay for the pizza! RSVP here or on the Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/events/195657434286531/), and invite anyone who'd be interested.

It should be great - see you there!
