A great way to begin our GRADnavigate workshop series is by exploring the hidden curriculum and the impostor phenomenon. The hidden curriculum can most easily be described as the information students are expected to know but that is rarely included in a course syllabus. Experts say there is a hidden curriculum in every academic program and workplace- and graduate school is no different! We will also discuss how to manage feelings of being underprepared or ill-suited for a graduate program, often referred to as imposter phenomenon. Join us to learn about how to navigate these feelings, which can assist you in overcoming the associated challenges and help you thrive in your program.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
