Thinking beyond the graduate school acceptance letters, are your students prepared to navigate the social aspects of the process? According to researchers, a strong link exists between social support networks and graduate school persistence. In this workshop, we will interactively discuss teaching students how to navigate the 3 P's of life: " People," "Policy," and "Politics." Utilizing both research and practice-based approaches, this workshop is designed to provide foundational (yet underestimated) concepts to mentoring that will stick with your students beyond undergrad. These tools include 1) guiding students on how to advocate for themselves tactfully, 2) finding their tribe/support network(s), and 3) establishing and maintaining healthy habits/boundaries during their graduate journey.
