Graduate
Student Mental Health and the Role of the Advisor
Please join us for a special Timely
Topics session with Provost Carl Lejuez on graduate student mental health. This
session is designed for faculty advisors and will discuss the ethic of care
involved in the advisor/advisee relationship, how it is vital for student
productivity and well-being, and how to support an advisee who seems to be
struggling. We will cover what questions you can/should ask and what to
do with the information you receive. The guidance shared will also be
informed by data gathered by Student Health and Wellness (SHaW), including what
graduate students want advisors to know about challenges they face and how
advisor support could be transformative.
