Professional Development
The Professional Development Office within UCSB’s Graduate Division supports graduate students and postdocs through a wide range of programs, services, and partnerships designed to foster academic and professional success.
As part of its offerings, the Graduate Student Resource Center (GSRC) serves as a welcoming, quiet study space in the Student Resource Building. Graduate students and postdocs can work and meet with GSRC peer advisors to learn about the plethora of resources available to graduate students, including funding opportunities, career advising, and community building.
Our professional development model is grounded in the Eight Core Competencies:
- Career Development
- Teaching & Mentorship
- Leadership & Management
- Wellness & Work-Life Balance
- Writing & Public Speaking
- Research & Innovation
- Professionalism & Ethics
- Community, Equity & Empowerment
