Who better to help students transition into grad studies than a student who has already experienced it? Three years ago, Brock University's Faculty of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs became aware of an opportunity to support our graduate students more effectively. The feedback that we received demonstrated a lack of connection that our graduate students were feeling between the time of accepting their offer to beginning their graduate studies. To address this concern, we began a collaborative process to implement a student-focused, student-led onboarding program, guided by a feedback-focused framework. Our goal was to provide our new graduate students with the tools they would need to feel prepared for a successful transition into graduate school and improve our student retention. We look forward to sharing the story of how we developed our program, tracked engagement and participation, and used both positive and constructive feedback to continue to evolve the program and support our graduate student success. From offering weekly information-sharing sessions to building community through social events, and campus tours, we guided our programming by listening to our student voice. During this presentation, we will guide you through our program successes, areas for opportunity and growth, and ideas for the future.
