Graduate school can sometimes feel like a never ending battle. Do you know a quick way to de-stress? Simply talking or complaining about the issues to others in the same boat might do the trick.

Our graduate students across majors have similar concerns about relationship with their advisor, financial situation, lack of social life, etc. We want to provide our students a means to vent and complain or feel comforted.

Grad Chat is an initiative of Graduate SGA, a series of student-group discussions. We provide a space for graduate students to come together in a welcoming environment to discuss, share experiences and offer each other suggestions while building a community. Free dinner will be provided. The first session will be on Wednesday, Oct 16 from 5:30-7 PM at Student Center, where we will be discussing the topic "Managing advisor relationships at grad school". We have limited space so please RSVP early using the link: http://bit.ly/gradchats-rsvp-session1. Selected students will be notified via email. Expect a space to talk openly, meet students like you, and good food! ------------------- Please note that this chat is not a therapy series. If you would benefit from the support of a therapist, Counseling Center can provide expert care.
