Through Dr. Villarreal’s experience as a mami-scholar dealing with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and depression in the middle of a global pandemic\, she developed coping skills influenced by a combination of Chicana feminist teachings\, occupational therapy\, and consejos from her community. Determined to not allow the dissertation process to be yet another traumatic experience in academia for her\, she instead cultivated one that brought her healing and joy. In this session\, Dr. Villarreal will share her experience and give guidance on how graduate students can cultivate wellness\, joy\, and healing along their research and writing journeys. \nSpeaker: Cynthia Villarreal\, Assistant Professor\, Northern Arizona University \n12:00 – 12:30 pm ET \nLunch \n12:30 – 2:00 pm ET \nAlumni Keynote Session: Defining and Progressing Toward Your North Star \nGraduate school can feel confusing. The process is defined\, but vague. It’s structured\, but also very individualized. When navigating this process\, it can become difficult at times to maintain a sense of agency. Because the constant in all of this is you\, it’s critical that you find ways to ground yourself so you don’t lose sight of what you want from this journey. In this session\, we discuss how to define your purpose and develop well-aligned goals. We also discuss successful strategies for sustaining your passion through graduation and beyond. \nSpeaker: Elizabeth Wayne\, M.S. ’13\, Ph.D. ’16 Biomedical Engineering\, Assistant Professor\, Biomedical Engineering and Chemical Engineering \n2:15 – 3:30 pm ET \nMastering Your Transition Into & Progression Through Graduate School  \nDuring this panel discussion with current doctoral students from across the disciplines\, panelists will candidly discuss their experiences and strategies for making a successful transition into graduate school. They will also share insights on their experiences navigating their ongoing progression through their graduate studies\, and their exploration and preparation for various postgraduate career pathways. \nEvent Sponsors \nGraduate School Office of Inclusion & Student Engagement\, Diversity Programs in Engineering\, Future Faculty and Academic Careers\, and the Cornell Chapter of the Bouchet Graduate Honor Society \nThis event is also supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No.1647094 (AGEP CIRTL) and a subcontract under Grant No. 1231286 (Cornell AGEP).
