The USC Writing Center presents: How To Read Like a Graduate Student
Feeling overwhelmed by your workload? Wish you retained more from your readings? Join the Writing Center for lunch and an interactive workshop!
We will go beyond the normal advice about skimming to analyzing the types of arguments that academics frequently make. Students will become familiar with the article structure in various disciplines, as well as the thesis statements that repeatedly appear in academic publishing.
We will also discuss how to prioritize your readings, how to take notes you will actually use, and – above all – how to gain a feeling of control over a daunting workload.
To reserve your seat, email: writing@usc.edu
The workshop will take place Monday, October 7 @ from 12 PM – 1:30 PM in THH 118
Dr. Dana Miller-Cotto (UC San Francisco) will be visiting Rossier on Tuesday, October 8th as part of the Rossier Scholars of Color Lecture Series. She will present her talk, entitled Examining Sketching as a tool to offload working memory in math and science at 12:00 pm in Dauterive LL-101.
About Dr. Dana Miller-Cotto: My research applies a psychological, ecological systems theory perspective to math and science achievement. I aim to understand the associations among antecedent factors (e.g. SES, race) and opportunities (e.g., classroom instruction, home and child care experiences,) factors that shape children’s readiness in math and science. As a result, my research focuses on two strands. The first strand focuses on determining early predictors of student readiness in math and science. The second strand focuses on evaluating classroom instructional practices based on learning principles in cognitive psychology and how they can promote or inhibit math and science learning. I use experimental, longitudinal, and meta-analytic approaches to examine these two strands.
If you would like to meet with Dr. Miller-Cotto during her visit, please contact Susan McKibben at smckibbe@rossier.usc.edu.

Dear Students,
The USC Graduate School’s Vice Provost for Graduate Programs, Sally Pratt, invites you to attend one of the upcoming Graduate Student Luncheons.
The luncheon will serve as an opportunity to create an inclusive community for graduate students from both the University Park Campus and the Health Science Campus. You have the opportunity to talk with the Vice Provost about a variety of graduate and professional student topics that range from Diversity, Inclusion, and Access to International Student experiences to Academic Professional Development; including your own concerns and discussion items. Vice Provost Pratt is interested in hearing your news, updates, and concerns as well as what you think the USC Graduate School does well and what it can improve upon and how.
The event is open to all USC Graduate Students, and attendance will be capped at 20 Graduate Students per luncheon. Since space is limited, please remember that your RSVP does not guarantee you a seat at the luncheon. The exact location of each luncheon will be communicated through a confirmation email sent to the first 20 students, per event, who have expressed interest in the particular meeting date.
Our Fall 2019 Graduate Student Luncheons will take place on the following dates:
