Equity101: 6 Conversations about Equity for Graduate Students (Zoom)
Thursday, October 13, 12-1:30pm
We talk a lot about “equity” on campus but what do we really mean? Do we have the same understanding? How does it relate to our everyday lives here on campus? What is it missing? This workshop explores these questions while also creating a space for us to think about what commitments we can make during our grad programs around continuing to learn more while putting what we have learned into action. Facilitated by the Student Life Coordinator, Equity Programs.

Grad Talk: Talking to New People Online for Grad Students (Zoom)
Monday, October 24, 12-1:30pm
Do you find talking to new people difficult? Do your fears hold you back from making connections? Are you finding it hard to build meaningful connections? Talking and connecting with new people is a challenge that everyone faces (even for Graduate students) and we created this workshop to help you develop the skills you need to not only make new connections, but to manage the fear and anxiety that comes along with it. In this workshop, we will teach you how to make new connections during your graduate programs and you will practice these skills so that you’ll leave with experience, and confidence that will help you continue talking to new people. Facilitated by Jennifer Pinker, Student Life Coordinator Gradlife Programs and the Gradlife Peer Ambassador.
