A significant number of graduate students experience psychological distress. This situation requires us to devote express attention and resources to graduate-student mental health. This challenge is also an opportunity: we hope to expand the current focus on graduate-student persistence and graduation to a more holistic wellness approach. Our aim is to provide faculty, students, and staff with a better understanding that well-being and academic performance are interdependent and dynamic.
We ask graduate students to join us for a town hall discussion. Please RSVP ahead of time, even if you are unable to attend. The registration form asks you to share your input and will help to inform the future of the task force’s work.
Registration is required at https://myumi.ch/XenK3.
We want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events. If an accommodation would promote your full participation in this event, please follow the registration link to indicate your accommodation requirements. Please let us know as soon as possible in order to have adequate time (one week preferred) to arrange for your requested accommodation(s) or an effective alternative.
