The Grad+ Endurance Seminar Series led by Leslie Blood, PhD, will consist of weekly one-hour check-ins to support goal setting, planning and provide a clear understanding of how values should drive goals and habit structures. Students will find that these Endurance Seminars provide a solid foundation which should reduce stress and help them find their place in the graduate community.
If you have not taken a full year of Grad+ Endurance Seminar, we recommend you start with the Introduction option. If you have completed a year or more of Grad+ Endurance Seminar, we recommend you sign up for the Advanced Topics option.
The 12-week spring session will begin the week of Jan. 29 and will run through the week of April 23 (with no programming Spring Break week). All sessions will take place via zoom.
Grad+ Endurance Seminar Series – Introduction
This year-long seminar* will focus on time management skills, habits, your personal accountability style and how to build productivity blocks. From choosing the perfect organizational system to testing accountability strategies, our Grad+ Seminar Series will kick-start your graduate career in a positive direction. You will explore personality tests to better understand your drive and motivations and learn important attention management techniques. You will leave this year with fundamental skills and helpful habits that will support you through your graduate school academic career.
*if you did not participate in the fall semester seminar series, you can still join for the spring semester.
Grad+ Endurance Seminar Series – Advanced Topics: Focus
Our inability to focus hinders our personal and professional growth and reduces academic resiliency. Distractions are inescapable and modern technology makes reaching flow states more difficult. The ability to focus is the key to improved performance and success, and the good news is that this Grad+ Seminar will teach you what you need to know to improve your ability to pay attention to what’s important. This semester we will examine current neuroscience research, case studies, personal application experiments and experiences to learn more about inner and outer focus development.
All graduate students welcome!
