Wellness workshop for SYDE grad students

Monday, October 21, 2024 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)

You are invited to attend a Wellness Workshop led by Faculty Community Wellness Officer, Renate Donnovan on Monday, October 21 from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm.

Life (and grad school) is full of uncertainty, happenstance, and unexpected occurrences. At their best, these moments provide us with happy surprises. At their worst, they create ambiguity, discomfort, anxiety, as sometimes even anger or frustration

In this session we will explore the Model of Uncertainty Navigation (Sweeny, 2012), as well as a variety of strategies and approaches you can use to create a personalize approach to dealing with uncertainty.
