Strategies for Handling Difficult Situations with GSIs

Wednesday, May 1, 2013
12:30-2:00pm
CRLT Seminar Room, (1013 Palmer Commons)

Have you ever wondered how to best handle difficult issues when working with GSIs (e.g., supporting a GSI who needs to quit his/her position for medical reasons or meditating a strained faculty-GSI relationship).  If so, you will have a chance to explore these unexpected situations and other case studies at the upcoming annual meeting for faculty and staff GSI coordinators.  During the session, panelists from the offices of the Academic Human Resource, Ombuds, and other campus support services will share some of their best practices for managing difficult situations and answer participants’ questions. Lunch will be provided.
