The Art of Saying "No": Mastering Expectations in Graduate School

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 deciding what activities they should focus their time on is often difficult. 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.

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.
