There\u2019s no way that Brock graduate students will be at a loss for things to do come Reading Week.<\/p>\n

Starting with a Thanksgiving dinner on Oct. 9, graduate students are invited to participate in Re-Charge Week, hosted by the Vitae Essential Skills partners.<\/p>\n

\u201cThink of it as not quite alternative reading week but more of a staycation,\u201d says Karin Perry, Graduate Coordinator, Development and Training, Faculty of Graduate Studies.<\/p>\n

Through to Oct. 16, Re-Charge professional development workshops are scheduled. Topics include time management, resume writing, literature review and networking. There\u2019s also a free photo session planned for students to have profile portraits taken for their LinkedIn accounts.<\/p>\n

As well, the week includes a mix of fun activities \u2014 stress relievers \u2014 that include fitness and aquafit classes, pickup soccer games, and, for the crochet-minded, a chance to make scarves and hats for local charities.<\/p>\n

The Faculty of Graduate Studies is a co-ordinating partner of the Vitae Essential Skills Partners, a collaborative group of campus-based student service professionals providing programming, resources, services to support the academic, personal, social and professional success of Brock\u2019s approximately 1,700 graduate students.<\/p>\n
