About Supervision Workshops
Building a professional relationship with your supervisor is a lifelong skill that benefits you both in graduate school and in your professional life. Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies provides a range of tools you can rely on as you navigate your supervisory relationship in an academic context.
The Graduate Supervision website hosts resources for supervisees and supervisors that can help you discuss expectations with your supervisor, keep the lines of communication open with your supervisor throughout your studies, and talk with your supervisor about your professional goals.
The workshops below provide opportunities to identify strategies for improving your supervisory relationship, learn about the resources McGill offers for supervisees, and enhance your skills in a hands-on way.
