Promoting Graduate Student Wellbeing: Cultural, Organizational, and Environmental Factors in the Academy

Promoting Graduate Student Wellbeing: Cultural, Organizational, and Environmental Factors in the Academy

Dr. Julie R. Posselt

Pullias Center for Higher Education (2021)

The purpose of this essay is to synthesize current knowledge about cultural, organizational, and environmental factors in higher education which are known to support or inhibit the wellbeing of graduate students. Given that students’ intellectual growth as graduate students is situated within a multi-dimensional developmental process, I pay special attention to ways that graduate education stakeholders-- including graduate school administrators, directors of graduate studies, faculty members, and other staff-- can link student development with the promotion of wellbeing. Finally, I make recommendations for colleges and universities to facilitate learning environments where students can thrive.
