Wellness for GSIs
Wednesday, October 30, 2019
1:00-2:30
309 Sproul Hall
Teaching while a graduate student can be quite stressful. You have your own research, responsibilities to students, and hopefully a life outside of Cal. How can you juggle your responsibilities while maintaining balance and wellness at the same time? It can be a never-ending cycle, but you can take control of it. In this workshop we will talk about dealing with the expectations that go along with teaching, student needs, setting limits, and taking the time to take care of yourself, which really does pay off.
Facilitator:
