A Health and Wellness Initiative Activity
Do you find yourself plagued by feelings of doubt and constantly
asking yourself the question "how did I get here and when will they
find out I don't belong?" You are definitely not alone. Many
graduate students wonder whether they really belong in graduate
school, especially during their first year. Confronting the Imposter
Syndrome will enable you to confront the root of many of the other
obstacles you may also be facing such as: procrastination, worry,
anxiety, lack of confidence, and stifled performance. Join us in
this roundtable discussion where we will address this syndrome and
develop concrete strategies for overcoming its effects.
