Graduate Student Network

The role of "the graduate student" is a challenge to define within most student affairs professional organizations. NODA's commitment to this constituency and their distinct needs is exhibited through its organization of the Graduate Student Network. The Network provides an opportunity to meet with NODA graduate student members. Current Network members have identified the following issues as pertinent to their area of concern: networking with the organization; building and designing effective professional resumes and learning competent interview skills; establishing mentor relationships with NODA professionals; gaining professional presentation experience; and exploring research opportunities in the area of orientation. The Network is committed to creating a support system with NODA to tap the organizations resources and address these issues. The Network welcomes not only graduate students, but also other NODA members either interested in graduate education or graduate student issues.
