Graduate school can be a stressful time; this workshop seeks to open a conversation about the importance of maintaining one's mental health.  Presenters will focus on healthy coping mechanisms, dealing with impostor syndrome, and resources available to support students.  This workshop is for first-year graduate students.  As always, time for networking and refreshments is included.  This student-run series is funded by a grant from the IGB Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiative.  To sign up for our mailing list, please visit https://forms.illinois.edu/sec/398930130 and watch your email for the announcement.

The transition to graduate school is even more complicated when it is also accompanied by a transition to a new country.  In this workshop, a panel of international graduate students will answer questions and share their experiences; all students are welcome to attend, but RSVP from international students will have priority.  As always, time for networking and refreshments is included.  This student-run series is funded by a grant from the IGB Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiative.  To sign up for our mailing list, please visit https://forms.illinois.edu/sec/398930130 and watch your email for the announcement.
