Each new student received a commemorative medallion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDuring the next few years, you will be taught by some of the best research faculty in America,\u201d Dr. Davies said. He noted that postgraduate programs train students to become leaders, teachers and critical thinkers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jared Garrison, PhD, associate professor of pharmaceutical sciences, gave the keynote address. He apologized for being a downer for focusing on challenges, but \u201cmost people do not need advice for the good times.\u201d He said his grad school career was one of the best times of his life \u2013 but it also included moments of stress, frustration, embarrassment, disappointment and even anger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He offered six points to remember:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Drive is more important than intellect: \u201cEveryone in this room is smart.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid brinksmanship: Figure out what you can learn from others, both good and bad, rather than butting heads with them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accept failures and learn from them, as failure is a part of science, and a part of life. \u201cBlaming others is unhelpful even if it holds some truth.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accept constructive criticism: \u201cThis can be a challenge. It still is for me.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pay attention to your own self wellness: Keep your relationships, do activities outside of the lab, don\u2019t forget to exercise. \u201cNever forget everyone on the campus is committed to your wellbeing. \u2026 Everyone struggles sometimes.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>New graduate students also heard from Sheritta Strong, MD, assistant vice chancellor for inclusion; Katie Muilenburg, president of the Graduate Student Association (GSA); and Lisa Bilek, PhD, president of the Graduate Studies Engagement Council of the UNMC Alumni Association.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Campus leaders and fellow students officially welcomed newcomers to UNMC Graduate
