University Park -- Workshop on Balancing Work and Life to Focus on Competing Obligations Graduate Students Face
Graduate students are encouraged to register for the workshop, “Balancing Work and Life: A Graduate Student’s Challenge,” to be held Tuesday, October 4, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in 102 Kern Graduate Building. The workshop will focus on competing obligations students face in their roles as graduate students and private individuals. A panel, comprised of faculty who study work/life balance and graduate students who represent a broad spectrum of the University, will present their ideas and relate their experiences. The workshop is intended to increase awareness about these competing role obligations and to explore various ways individuals have attempted to balance them. A box lunch will be provided. Registration is required and is limited to 40 participants. To register, please visit https://secure.gradsch.psu.edu/registrations now through September 29.
The workshop is being co-sponsored by the Graduate School, the Office for Research Protections, and the Graduate Council Committee on Graduate Student and Faculty Issues.
