Supporting Graduate School Success with Mindfulness
Presenter: Michael Kimball, PhD
Being a graduate student can be one of the most fulfilling opportunities for learning and professional growth. At the same time, it can also be one of the most stressful endeavors, full of opportunities for deeply questioning our own competence, commitment, and choices. How do we successfully navigate such a rewarding and perilous landscape? Mindfulness practice can’t present a roadmap to your destination or a shield to protect you from every hazard. But it can provide a reliable compass and walking stick to guide and stabilize your journey. In this talk, I will introduce a set of mindfulness techniques that, with enough practice, will support you across grad school’s ups and downs.
