Resources for supporting grad student wellbeing
IGEN’s Research Hub team at USC has been developing a set of resources for supporting graduate student well-being, recognizing anxieties are amplified in this time.
These resources include tools, websites, reflective commentaries, and research articles that we hope will resonate with students and postdocs. Please distribute widely!
Special thanks to Aireale Rodgers for taking the lead on this effort at the Research Hub!
These resources are also available as an interactive PDF document.
