Professional Development Workshop Series

Each academic year, The Graduate School conducts a series of professional development workshops. These free workshops, led by FSU faculty and administrators, are designed for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.  Many professional development workshops listed below are approved for credit towards the Preparing Future Faculty (PFF) Graduate Certificate or the Preparing Future Professionals (PFP) Graduate Certificate.  In addition to the professional development workshops offered by The Graduate School, many academic departments and units on campus offer workshops that may provide credit towards the PFF and PFP Certificates.  Click here for a list of other campus-wide professional development opportunities.
