The Art Of Saying ‘No’: Managing Expectations in Graduate School (Fall 2024)
Learn when to say 'yes' and when to say 'no' and how to confidently communicate your decision.
Graduate students lead busy lives with several competing priorities, and it is often difficult to decide what activities they should focus their time on. When it comes time to turn down an invitation to an activity or opportunity, many students struggle with the process of saying no.
Graduate students must manage expectations – and invitations - from faculty, peers, students, and friends and family. Developing skills to help manage these expectations can help with time management, stress, and overall success.
In this session, we will explore decision-making strategies for deciding when to say yes and when to say no, as well as suggestions and tips for how to convey your decision.
This is an online event. Participants can expect polls and live questions to be posed to the group.
This event is part of the GRADnavigate workshop series hosted by GSPA.
