Starting Strong in Graduate School: Stress Management – Tuesday, September 6 from 4-5pm   RECORDED EVENT 9.6.22

Whether you are just beginning in a graduate/professional degree program or are trying to enter this year with a fresh perspective, come to this session and discuss concrete ways to have a strong start. We’ll talk about how to set yourself up for success by knowing the rights and resources available to you at MSU. We’ll also share stress-management and time-management tips that will help you get the most out of your very limited time.

Staying Strong in Graduate School: Increasing Motivation – Tuesday, October 11 from 4-5pm  MOTIVATION SLIDES (sorry! recording/audio not available)

One of the most difficult things about graduate school is having to sustain high levels of motivation for a very long time. If you are feeling your motivation fading and aren’t sure how to keep going, you are not alone! In this workshop, we will talk about specific strategies to build and/or recover sustainable motivational structures and practices in your life.

Finishing Strong in Graduate School: Preventing Burnout – Tuesday, November 15 from 4-5pm  PREVENTING BURNOUT SLIDES (sorry! recording/audio not available)

When it’s crunch time, we can push ourselves to the point of burnout, and once we’re truly burned out it may take a long time to recover. If we catch it early, we can stop ourselves from getting so overwhelmed that we shut down. We’ll talk about how to know when you’re getting close to burnout, and ways you can prevent it.
