Office of Graduate Affairs The Office of Graduate Affairs works with the graduate divisions and the Divinity School to provide information and services to master's and doctoral students. The Office of Graduate Affairs also offers general advice to graduate students about the graduate education process. Fellowship Administration and Advising The office runs a grantsmanship series, which focuses on pre-dissertation and dissertation funding, and loans out a videotape of Professor John Comaroff on "Tips for a Successful Grant Application."
The office has developed a Fellowship Kiosk The Graduate Resource Center has binders of fellowship flyers, books on fellowship resources, and over 50 handouts in display cases on topics of interest to graduate students: funding resources, the academic job search, teaching-related jobs, dissertation and proposal-related articles, and applications for specific fellowships.
