Grad+ Seminar Series - Intro & Advanced - Spring 2025

The Grad+ Seminar Series led by Leslie Blood, PhD, will consist of weekly 1 hr 15 min 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 seminars provide a solid foundation which should reduce stress and help them find their place in the graduate community.

The 12-week spring session will begin the week of Jan. 27 and will run through the week of April 22 (with no programming Spring Break week). All sessions will take place via zoom.

If you have not taken a full year of Grad+ Seminar, we recommend you start with the Introduction to Academic Success option. If you have completed a year or more of Grad+ Seminar, we recommend you sign up for the Advanced Topics option.

Introduction to Academic Success

• Mondays at 11:30 a.m. – 12:45 p.m. via zoom
• Introduction to Academic Success is for anyone who wants to discover what it takes to build and maintain academic resiliency. From customized time organizations strategies to strengthening trust and identity, our yearlong seminar will help you discover how to connect your values to your priorities, personalize an accountability plan and build a growth mindset. This seminar is guaranteed to help you build the confidence you need to survive and thrive during graduate school.

Advanced Topics: Academic Development - Special Topics

• Tuesdays at 10-11:15 a.m. via zoom
• Special Topics is back in January and, as always, the content is based on your requests. This semester you will get to research… yourself. What’s going on inside that brilliant brain of yours? Why do you excel at X and struggle with Y? How can you resolve internal and external conflicts with less stress? What can you do to build a more resilient mindset and discover new ways to treat your performance with curiosity and not judgement? If you want to nerd out with a bunch of cool people who are always looking to improve, this is the perfect seminar for you.

All graduate students welcome!
