Relationships that are grounded in trust, respect, and acceptance are the strongest factor in building and maintaining resilience. And, without the same engagement opportunities as pre-pandemic culture, it is now much more of a challenge to create, build, and maintain social networks. So, what is a graduate student supposed to do? During this one-hour session, we’ll review the value of social networks, and more importantly, hear from graduate and professional students who have strategies and suggestions for how to be connected during this difficult time.

Presenters: Jen Forbes, Big Red Barn Graduate and Professional Student Center Director; Janna Lamey, Senior Assistant Dean for Graduate Student Life; and Panel of Esteemed Students

All incoming 2022 Graduate School students are able to access the session recordings through the Orientation Hub on Canvas
