Our relationships with research advisors and professional supervisors have a tremendous effect on our well-being and growth. This workshop will teach communication principles and skills to help you “manage up” your supervisors here at MIT and beyond, creating more positive, productive working relationships. Skills will include identifying the overlap between your interests and your advisor’s, advocating for your own needs, and optimizing your day-to-day interactions.

The workshop will be taught by Dr. Diana Chien and Dr. Jac Goldstein, Senior Program Manager and Instructional Designer of the School of Engineering Communication Lab.  

Hosted by MIT-Riccio Graduate Engineering Leadership Program—GradEL.
