Since 2015, CTE and the Office of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs (GSPA) have offered a series of workshops on graduate supervision practices, primarily for those seeking Sole Supervisory Privilege Status (SSPS1 or SSPS2). The Graduate Supervision Series will be offered twice a year in a blended format. The in-person sessions will be the first and last Friday in October for Fall term and the first Fridays in February and March for the Winter term offering.
We use GoSignMeUp for registration; first sign in with your UW login credentials, then sign up for the full workshop. We will add you to the LEARN site for the workshop and its modules. Questions can be directed to Trevor Holmes tholmes@uwaterloo.ca
