Lunch and Learn: Tools to Support Graduate Student Mental Health
|
|
|
Monday, November 4, 12 - 1:30 p.m.
Zoom

Yan Li, Associate Dean for Graduate Programs in The Graduate School
Nancy Zucker, Professor of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences and Director of Graduate Studies for Psychology & Neuroscience

In 2018, Inside Higher Ed cited research showing graduate students are more than six times as likely as the general population to develop a mental health disorder. If you are a Ph.D. advisor, graduate student mentor or simply a faculty member who cares about grad students, you already know supporting graduate student mental health is a critical issue.
The Office for Faculty Advancement and The Graduate School invite you to join us for a session on this topic led by two licensed psychologists. They will address some of most common challenges mentors encounter in relation to graduate student mental health, take questions and offer resources and actionable takeaways.

Creating Innovative Cultures in Academic Units
|
|
|
Thursday, November 7, 1 - 2 p.m.
York Room, 229 Gray Building (Divinity School)

Sherilynn Black, Associate Vice Provost for Faculty Advancement

Kimberly Hewitt, Vice President for Institutional Equity
|
Faculty serve as educators, mentors, colleagues and leaders who set the tone and establish local cultures that impact the ability to thrive and advance scholarship in academic units. If intentional, this culture can be one that leads to fruitful collaborations and innovative approaches that increase success for all groups across schools and departments. If this culture is not in place, it can limit our work and lessen the experiences of our faculty, staff and student colleagues.
In this workshop, participants will discuss strategies and practices that support innovation in their teams, including highlighting how diverse teams benefit innovative approaches. They will also discuss how improving departmental culture can lead to greater engagement in academic units.
