IMPORTANT
Graduate Student Mental Wellness Symposium
All graduate students and postdocs are invited
Friday, September 27, 2019 · 10 AM - 2:30 PM
The Offices of the President, the Provost, the Vice President for Research, the College Deans, the Vice President for Student Affairs, and the Division of Professional Studies have partnered with the Graduate School to sponsor a Graduate Student Mental Wellness Symposium on Friday, September 27, from 10:00 am to 2:30 pm in the UC Ballroom. The goal of the Symposium is to facilitate frank, open discussion about the issues nationally and at UMBC, and to identify steps that we can begin to take to promote graduate student mental wellness.
The symposium will focus on three areas that impact graduate student wellness: financial insecurity, lack of belongingness and issues with thesis/dissertation. We will hear from experts during the plenary sessions and will go into more depth during breakout sessions over lunch.
If you have not done so already please RSVP with your plans to attend by clicking in the ticket URL. If you have any questions, please contact the Dean’s Office at the Graduate School, Denise Atkinson datkinson@umbc.edu or Professional Development Coordinator (PROMISE) Yarazeth Medina yarazeth@umbc.edu.
