Professional Development Communities

At the University of Louisville, graduate students have unique opportunities to learn and grow in areas of interest across disciplinary lines. These professional development communities (PDCs) allow graduate students to learn, grow, and develop in specific topic areas by engaging with other graduate students and experts.  

2024-2025 Professional Development Communities

All workshops offered during the academic year are open to all graduate students. While you are encouraged to attend any workshops you find beneficial, we recommend that you choose one PDC (or multiple) and attend the workshops in that PDC consistently. This will provide a regular community of students you can foster relationships with beyond your program area.
