Tuesday, April 5 – Panel & Visit by Chancellor Reddy <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lately, the popular press has sometimes referred to master\u2019s degrees as a \u201cscam\u201d and a \u201cswindle.\u201d We even have a few moments of doubt ourselves, right in the middle of things. Are master\u2019s degrees worth the investment of time and resources required? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come listen to a panel of graduates from a variety of career fields discuss the pros and cons from their vantage points. Listen, learn, meet other graduate students, and network, with refreshments and a short visit by Chancellor Venkat Reddy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday, April 6 – How to Combat Zoom Fatigue <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there\u2019s one thing the pandemic has taught us, it\u2019s that we can do virtually anything \u2014 virtually<\/em>. Zoom in particular has gained enormous traction, although many of us admit we\u2019re also Teams-tortured, ex-Webexed, over-Skyped, and, frankly, Burned Out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the good news is that we’re beginning to understand how virtual meetings affect us mentally, physically, and psychologically. Even better, we’re devising strategies to help us wake up, focus, and beat the burnout. Join Dr. Constance Staley, Acting Dean of the Graduate School, for an amazing array of awesome antidotes that may help you minimize toxic burnout and maximize your own effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
