Addressing Graduate Students’ Feelings of Stress

An End-of-the-Semester “Coffee Break” — Fri. 12/5/14

Location

On Campus : PUP 206

Date & Time

December 5, 2014, 4:30 pm6:30 pm

Description

It is common during this time of year to feel stressed about things that you want to accomplish before the end of the semester. If you’ve experienced  anxiety, irritability, apathy, disinterest in activities that you were formerly involved in, or loss of energy, it’s time to talk.  In an effort to address concerns of stress during these last few weeks of the fall semester, we would like to offer you an opportunity to take a coffee break.  


Dr. Robert Deluty, Associate Dean of the Graduate School, and a practicing clinical psychologist, will lead  this session.  If you are feeling overwhelmed and stressed about classes, end-of-the-semester projects, exams, or the holiday season, please come! If you are feeling alone, isolated,  or just want to have an opportunity to connect with others, please come! If you are a non-traditional graduate student or a first-generation graduate student, we encourage you to come! If you have been working to try to balance work and family, or if you are trying to balance other areas of your life and you need a listening ear, please come!

Note from Dr. Tull: "Graduate students have been asking us to provide more opportunities to have sessions like this one. All seats at the December 2011, 2012 and 2013 versions of this session were filled.  We are pleased that Dr. Deluty has once again agreed to offer his time and expertise for this seminar on Dec. 5, 2014."
