Resources for Graduate Students

Finding activities and programs for your clients can be difficult.  Finding study tools and helpful hints for yourself can also be difficult, but don't fret, there are resources that will definitely help!

1.  Pinterest.  MAKE A PINTEREST (especially as an SLP)  Pinterest is an addictive website, if I do say so myself, that inspires and opens your eyes to new ideas and crafts!  For an SLP, you can find fun activities for your clients, whether is its AAC devices or just captivating articulation ideas!  As a CMDS student it is helpful to find ideas for your clinical sessions but also for studying tools.




2.  Find other Graduate Blogs.  Following people on Tumblr or even just googling "Graduate Student Blogs" can be a boost of morale or the support you are in need of.  These student blogs will show you that the stress and worry you may be feeling is 100% normal!  Some of the blogs, especially on Tumblr, will give you a few laughs and take your mind off of the 100 million things you need to do for a few minutes, too!  


3.  Facebook.  Facebook will definitely help you stay connected with your peers.  Finding each other on Facebook, THE SOCIAL NETWORK, will allow you to connect with your classmates.  I found using Facebook made it really easy for me keep up with my group projects, make meeting times, and ask my classmates for homework or study advice.  Having a Facebook during graduate school seems essential to stay in touch and up to date with your classmates!



4.  Stockton's pages have general and specific information about graduate programs, campus events, campus activities, games, and just college information in general.  Stockton is on almost every form of Social Media, so check us out!




Social media is everywhere nowadays and prove to be extremely helpful.  The sites provided by Stockton do serve as up-to-date informational sources for all prospective students, current students and alumni!
