Graduate Student Voices: Experiences of (Dis)Connection

• In Event: General Conference Roundtables
  In Roundtable: Table 68: Curricular and Co-Curricular Influences on Student Learning

Abstract

This phenomenological study of graduate students explores the curricular and cocurricular experiences that foster utilization of campus resources and serve as sources of connectedness and support. The findings revealed three salient themes: simultaneous participation in multiple communities, the presence and/or absence of support, and experiences of (dis)connection.
