By Barbara Ainsworth, Ph.D., MPH, FACSM, ACSM President-elect

Remember yourundergraduate days? You

took classes, completedassignments and tests, and overtime, you graduated. Now youare in graduate school and youmay ask, what is expected ofme? Is there a formula forsuccess? Whether you areearning a Master or a Doctoraldegree, succeeding in graduateschool takes deliberate action.Here are a few tips to help youto get the most out of yourdegree.

Treat your graduateeducation like your job.

Come to class on time and payattention while you are there.Turn off the internet and engagein class discussions. Go the extramile to turn in assignments ontime and without errors. Bethoughtful in your work andstrive to be present while in classand in research settings.

Avoid taking the easy path. While some courses will berequired, many will be electives.You will havemanyopportunities todevelop yourskills andinterests. Askyour professorswhat coursesand/orexperiences theythink will helpyou reach your career goals. Ifyou want to be a clinician, seekexperiences that will let youknow if that career is for you. Ifyou want to be a researcher,learn the skills required forsuccess— gain expertise in a

couple of areas, learn how todesign research studies on topicsthat funding agencies willsupport. If you want to be ateacher, develop the skills andsubject matter expertise neededfor effective teaching.

Open your mind to newideas.

Graduate school is the time toexplore new ways of thinkingabout topics you never knewexisted. Don’t sell yourself shortby limiting your focus to a singleinterest area or approach. Yourjob will require you to interactwith people from manydisciplines, so think broadlyabout solving problems andthinking outside the box.

Hang out where the action is. If your research is in the lab,then hang out in the lab. If yourresearch is somewhere else, thenhang out where your advisor caneasily find you. By being closephysically to where researchdecisions are made, you have thebest shot at being part of thediscovery process. In graduateschool, a lot of the learning

happens outside theclassroom. You need tobe where the problemsarise so you can be partof the solutions.

Always ask, whatcan I do to help? Scholars are busypeople. They needbright, eager, new

professionals to help themaccomplish their tasks. You canget involved in activities thatcan take your career to a wholenew level by giving freely ofyour time.

As graduate students, youare the next generation ofprofessionals. By makingACSM your primaryprofessional organization,you are already at thehead of the pack. Presentyour best research atACSM regional andnational meetings. Getinvolved in theorganization and be aleader. By being part ofACSM, I guarantee thatyou will make friends andhave experiences that willbroaden and deepen yourcareer for a long time tocome.

Be part of ACSM ...developyour skills

andinterests...

Upon graduating, it seems likemore and more students areenrolling in graduate school.With a lack of job opportunitiesand poor economy, becoming aprofessional student is not sucha bad idea. The thing aboutgraduate school is that youdon’t really know what you aregetting yourself into until youare fully immersed. When Ithink back to before I startedgrad school, I thought I wasprepared. Ha! If I only knew!

Here is a list of 10 things I havecome to realize after a few years.Hopefully I can pass on some ofwhat I learned to other studentswho are planning to continuedown the academic path.

1. Discover your passion First off, you have to decidewhat you are passionate about.If you are going to continueyour educationyou should havea reason. If youdon’t know whatyou areinterested in youwill have a hardtime finding aprogram you arereally excitedabout. Thinkabout what youwant to do in the future: do youwant to teach? Work in aresearch lab? Specialize in aparticular discipline? These

questions will help younarrow down your choices.Talk to current students tofind out more about theprogram at a particularschool. You can only learnso much from thedescription on the school’swebsite.

2. Picking a schoolWhile picking the school mayseem like an obvious part ofchoosing a graduate program,there are a few crucial elementsyou should consider.

Location: You shouldn’t pick aschool on location alone, butit’s something you shouldconsider. What things areimportant to you? Do you likebig cities? Lakes? Mountains?Snow? You are going to spendthe next 4+ years at thislocation,….Size: Do you want to go to alarge university? Small

school? Whatabout thedepartment size?Number of gradstudents?Number ofundergrads?Funding: Aregraduateassistantshipsavailable? How

many and what do theycover? Are they renewable?Will you be fundedthroughout your entireprogram? What about the

summer? Is your departmentgrant funded?Recent graduates: Whatcareers have recent grads ofthe program pursued? What kind of reputation does theuniversity have?

3. Your AdvisorThis is the person who will beyour mentor throughout yourgraduate career. It is extremelyimportant to have a goodrelationship with your advisor.Make sure your interests line upBEFORE applying to a program.Keep in mind that your advisorhas your best interests in mind.Even though it may seem likehe or she is out to get you, youradvisor really wants you tosucceed.

4. Research Make sure you read recentpublications from yourpotential advisor. Find out whattype of research he/she hasdone in the past. Lining upresearch interests is extremelyimportant- you want to pick anadvisor who has worked in anarea that is of interest to you aswell!

Think aboutwhat you

want to do in the future

10 things I wish I would have known about Graduate School….Written and Submitted By: Stephanie Howe, MS, Former ACSM Northwest Regional Student Representative

Make sure your interestsline up BEFORE applying


5. Studying Graduate classes are muchdifferent than undergraduateclasses. You will have muchmore responsibility; and forsome reason everythingALWAYS takes longer than youplan. Prioritizing tasks andbudgeting your time areessential for success. It also isimportant to stay organized—Iwould invest in adaily planner.

When it comes togetting all of yourwork done, youhave to be productive. Surfingthe internet, watching tv, andnaps are a thing of the past. Tofind out how you work best, askyourself some questions:

What time of day am I mostfocused?

What type of environment doI work well in?

Do I work best in groups oron my own?

How do I learn best?

What types of things distractme?

Break up your work intosections and take breaks inbetween. I like to make lists so Ican cross items off as I finish. Iusually end up listing thingslike “eat lunch” and “take ashower” so I feel like I amaccomplishing something. A listalso helps with timemanagement and prioritizingtasks.

6. Get involvedBecoming involved in yourschool, community, or field ofstudy is great for a number ofreasons. First off, you get tomeet a lot of people! Second,it’s great for networking andestablishing contacts. Third,you can learn a lot and get tomeet some influential peoplewithin your field. Lastly,

becoming amember,attending, andpresenting atconferencesmakes you

much more educated. It’s goodto stay current with recenttrends within your field. Takeadvantage of the opportunitiesoffered to you as a student.

9. CoffeeCoffee is anecessity.End ofstory.

10. Whenthe going gets tough Remember that you got intoschool for a reason. Don’t sellyourself short; everyone has upsand downs. Try not to takecriticism personally and beconfident in your abilities. It’sgood to have friends or otherstudents you can talk to.Sometimes just having someonelisten to your frustrations canmake you feel better.Remember, if grad school wereeasy everyone would do it!

Take care of your body. It’shard to stay on top of all ofyour course work, yourresearch, teaching classes, etcif you aren’t taking care ofyourself. Make sure you eatwell. Good nutrition reallycan make a positivedifference in how you feel.Buy yourself a cookbook andlearn how to cook. Try to get enough sleep. Mostpeople need around 8 hoursto feel rested. Although youmay not be able to sleep 8hours every night, a fewtimes a week is a good goal.Take time for yourself eachday. It’s easy to slip into theroutine of geeking out atschool all day.

Set aside time to do anactivity that you enjoy. One of my friends at Oregonmade a new year’s resolutionto do one fun social eventoutside ofschool everyweek. It helpsthe week goby when youhavesomethingfun to lookforward to. Lab meetingsdon’t count as social events.

Welcome to the poor life. Graduate students live close to poverty levels.Someday you will make money and then you will be able to pay back all of your studentloans. Don’t stress too much about money, just be conscious of how much you spend andtry to budget. One way to cut down on costs is to pack a lunch every day. Instead ofspending $10 a day, a bag lunch probably costs you about $2. Do the math—it adds up.

ACSM Fellows Offer Advice to Students

Intellectual curiosity is critical to yoursuccess. You will need to read theliterature and discuss research studieswith fellow graduate students and withyour mentor. Find out about researchprojects going on in the laboratory.Most graduate programs includejournal clubs and most labs have aweekly meeting to assist you with thisprocess. Initially you will likely findthat you are interested in everything!This is where your mentor can helpyou focus your ideas. You will soonbegin to realize how much you do notknow. Do not let this scare you—justenjoy learning and keep focusing onwhat you do know.

Priscilla Clarkson, PhD, FACSM

Remember to work as a team withother graduate students academicallyas well as professionally. Assistprofessors and other graduate studentswith data collections, volunteer as aresearch subject, attend researchseminars, and attend and present yourwork at professional meetings. If thissounds familiar, it should. You are notonly gaining the foundational skills tobecome a good researcher, teacher andscholar, you are preparing from thebeginning of the master’s program foradmission to a Ph.D.program and/or aprofessional career. Ifyou choose to pursue aPh.D., your researchmentor and othergraduate faculty will bethe best sources foradvice on matching youwith a mentor andseeking admission and financialsupport. William Butler Yeates said,“Education is not the filling of a pail,but the lighting of a fire.” Youreducational experience should feedyour curiosity and excitement inaddition to supplying you with thenecessary tools to succeed in a career. Ittakes hard work and dedication. Fuelyour fire!

Richard Gay Israel, EdD, FACSM

Do not leave graduate school without

getting the valuable experience andknowledge you need for the next stepof your career. Get grant andmanuscript writing experience, presentyour research at national meetings,and get involved in other researchprojects besides your own. If teachingis one of your goals, make sure you geta variety of teaching experiences, evenif you have to volunteer. Get a strongbackground in statistics and researchdesign, learn to use statistical computerprograms, and clearly understand thestatistics used in your own research.Start a journal club if your school doesnot have one where you can discussresearch articles in depth. Once youleave graduate school, find a mentor tohelp you continue learning andimproving your research and teachingskills. Remember, graduate school isjust the beginning of the learningprocess that will last a lifetime.

Melinda Manore, PhD, RD, FACSM

It is most important, especially in yourdoctoral studies, to choose a mentorwho is well respected and has doneconsiderable work in your area ofinterest. The work you do in yourdoctoral program will likely be yourspringboard for your career. If you have

no idea of your area ofinterest, then you maynot truly be ready for adoctoral program. It is agood idea to peruse theprogram and the facultywebsites to gainbackground informationon the program. I alsostrongly recommend

that you personally contact the facultymember of interest to discuss yourinterests and qualifications for theprogram. This should be followed upby an interview. In this way, you havean opportunity to meet in person.Over the course of four years, you willbe developing a very personalrelationship with your mentor. It isimportant that you are able to connecton a personal, as well as professional,level. An interview also gives you theopportunity to visit the labenvironment and meet with other

graduate students who can provideadditional information from theviewpoint of the student.

Irene Davis, PT, PhD, FACSM

I cannot overstate the importance ofnetworking for establishing a presencein the field. One of the best vehiclesthrough which to interact withsuccessful people is to become active inthe ACSM regional chapters. Volunteerto serve on a committee. Go to theregional and national ACSM AnnualMeetings. Attend the social eventsoffered at these meetings. Go out todinner with your major advisor and hisor her friends. Participate in the groupmorning run. Get involved with theACSM interest groups. There is anextensive amount of business that getsconducted at these social events thatcan lead to your career advancement.

Linda Pescatello, PhD, FACSM

What will you consider a “successful”experience? New knowledge and skills?A job? Lifelong colleagues? What areyour goals? How do they fit in with thegoals ofyouradvisor andtheexperiences you will receive in a givenprogram? Realize that your goals may,and probably should, change as yougain knowledge, experience, andexposure to new ideas and topics. Themotivation for taking on the challengeof graduate work has to come fromwithin yourself; those who go on tograduate school in an attempt to liveup to the expectations of others have amuch more difficult time, and riskgetting through it only to learn that itis really not what they wanted in thefirst place. There are so manywonderful opportunities that can comefrom the graduate school experience,particularly in the exercise and sportssciences. With options, however,comes the stress of decision making.Knowing what success means to youwill help you make decisions along theway.

Jane Kent-Braun, PhD, FACSM
