Graduate students, the gradSERU survey has officially launched! Click here to take the survey.

The University of Texas at Austin is committed to ensuring that graduate students have the resources they need to succeed. In an effort to better understand the graduate student experience and develop programs, policies and services to support you, the university invites you to participate in a survey to share your thoughts and opinions.

The Graduate School encourages you to make your voice heard and participate in the official representative bodies of graduate students. Campus-wide elections take place on Feb. 27 and 28, 2023, including for two key student organizations: The Graduate Student Assembly (GSA) and Student Government.

We'd like to introduce you to Laura Sandoval-Sweeney, the Graduate School counselor in the Counselors in Academic Residence (CARE) Program. CARE is a program of the Counseling and Mental Health Center that provides mental health services in academic offices to facilitate students’ academic and life goals.

A self-proclaimed ‘defector’ of academia, Stephanie Malak (Ph.D. '16) has spent the last six years learning to be comfortable in the face of uncertainty. After completing her Ph.D. in Latin American literature, she currently works as a senior research associate at Spark Admissions, a college admissions consulting firm. Upon graduation, Stephanie found the courage to venture into uncharted territory when a fateful fellowship helped open her mind to career possibilities beyond a professorship.
