Graduate Students: How to Write a CV
Should you write a resume or a CV? Graduate level students often write a CV (curriculum vitae), which is a comprehensive synopsis of academic credentials, research and scholarly achievements, and teaching experiences. Students use a CV to apply for jobs in academia and research or for grants and fellowships. Come learn how a CV differs from a resume. Dean Hector Flores will co-present and offer tips on writing a technical CV.

TA Learning Styles Workshop
Friday April 30th
1:30-4:30 PM
Location: Slaughter Building(CIMS), Room 2150
AgendaParticipants will take and "score" a learning preference inventory based on the theories of Carl Gustav Jung and on the educational application of his theories by educational consultants, Harvey Silver and Richard Strong. Characteristics of the four Basic Learning styles' T.E.M.P.O will be explained to help participants understand their learning profile. Participants will discuss how to apply learning style and learning profile concepts in their educational and every-day lives to better understand not only how their own learning happens but also how to better communicate with those whose learning profile is different. Bio of Workshop PresenterMr. Michael DuPre' graduated from LeMoyne College with a B.S. in Biology and from Colgate University with a Master of Arts in the Teaching of Natural Science. He holds a Certificate of Advanced Study in Educational Administration from SUNY-Brockport and a School District Administrator (Superintendent level) certification from the New York State Education Department. After teaching Biology for 20 years and being a K-12 director of science and health education for 11 more, Mr. DuPre' ran the graduate program in science education at the University of Rochester's Warren School of Education and Human Development for 2 years before "going across the street" to become an adjunct instructor at the University of Rochester's Medical Center. Working through the Department of Environmental Health's Life Science Learning Center, Mr. DuPre' has been involved in curriculum design and professional development for high school biology teachers across the state. He has been a member of the New York State Biology-Chemistry Professional Development Network for 17 years and, with his consulting partner, has presented at numerous local, state, and national science teachers' conferences for over 30 years. His current interest involves co-teaching a graduate course at the medical center for biomedical Ph.D. candidates and post-docs who want to learn some fundamentals about teaching and learning science to help raise the level of educational expertise among the scientists who may further their career as college and university professors.
