The season of giving is here! There are various ways to give thanks, from cooking with a loved one, establishing a meditation practice or sending a card. Here's how to express more gratitude in your life!

The Graduate Student Town Hall is on 2/7 at 4:30 p.m. on Zoom! We’ll be talking about well-being: how to be comfortable, healthy, and happy. Our panel of ASU professionals will answer your questions at the event. Registration is open through February 7.

Have you ever looked around a classroom or meeting and thought, “Everyone else deserves to be here more than I do”? If so, you’re not alone. That creeping sense of self-doubt despite clear evidence of your hard work and talent has a name: imposter syndrome. It’s something many graduate students experience, often quietly, while assuming they’re the only ones who feel this way. The truth is, imposter syndrome is surprisingly common in academia, and talking about it openly is the first step toward overcoming it.

In our April 7 edition of the Grad15 webinar, Nika Gueci with the ASU Center for Mindfulness, Resilience and Compassion shared resources and tips on mindfully navigating times of disruption. More conversation than presentation, the session gave graduate students the chance to ask questions, share their challenges, and exchange strategies for maintaining mental health during our COVID isolation.

Because of the unique pressures of graduate school, it’s important for grad students to take part in mental health services provided by ASU when they feel they need counseling.
