| Career Coaching Opportunity: Appointments available to book |
Several staff members on campus participated in UBC's Coaching for Career Influencers Program in 2019/20. As part of our ongoing development as learner coaches, we are required to engage in 30-minute career coaching conversations. These mutually beneficial one-to-one coaching conversations, exclusive to graduate students or postdoctoral fellows, offer you a safe and confidential space to explore a concern or challenge you are experiencing and to work with you towards defining actionable goals for yourself, all while helping us enhance our coaching skills. |

| Getting Through Grad School with Grace & Grit: The Online Support Group |
We recognize that graduate students face ongoing challenges, due to both the grad school experience itself and the impact of the pandemic on one’s life and studies. The stress and uncertainty at this time can feel isolating and overwhelming, and maintaining a sense of community is more important than ever. This support group is a nonjudgmental online community where graduate students come together in solidarity to discuss what matters most to them, support each other, and apply grace and grit to succeed in their current challenges. |
