SIS Navigators
SIS staff connecting with new graduate students to build community, create connections and maximize the graduate experience
SIS invites first year graduate students from historically underrepresented groups to connect with an SIS Navigator as they begin to pave their way through graduate school.
Why do students connect with SIS Navigators?
- To ask a question when you’re not sure who to ask
- To build a relationship with someone who has more experience at SIS, AU, in DC, or in higher education
- To brainstorm solutions to a current challenge
- To learn about resources on campus that might be useful to you
Browse through the biographies of the Navigators and reach out to one via email to get your conversation started.
Is this your first time connecting with a Navigator?
BONUS! Visit SIS 112 to pick up tokens for 2 free drinks at the Davenport and invite your Navigator to have coffee at the Davenport on you!
