Think you are the only one who is struggling with stress, anxiety, or depression? Maybe you are not sure how best to manage your time? Well, you are not alone! Shown below are the results from a recent GrIND survey of 48 graduate students at the Thayer School of Engineering when asked, “If attending a seminar, what topic(s) would you be most likely to attend?” These results really speak to the need for all students to adopt a structured approach in managing their mental health and time while in graduate school. This is what the GrIND hopes to provide.
