Especially for Graduate Students
All UCCS groups are open to graduate students. In addition, we offer the following groups especially for graduate students.
Dissertation and Thesis Support Groups. These groups, which
meet every other week, provide support, focus, and problem-solving strategies
for graduate students at the dissertation or thesis stage. These groups are
very popular and there is frequently a wait for an opening. Six groups are
running currently, and space becomes available as students complete their
degrees.
Call 612-624-3323 to be put on the waiting list
