Through mindfulness practices, we learn to direct our attention to the present moment without expectation or judgement; we’re simply gathering valuable information. In this workshop, guided mindfulness exercises and self-reflection will help participants develop skills around working with intention. Bringing intentionality into your career can support you, your work, and your relationships with colleagues. Please bring a journal if you have one and anything else that will help you feel more at ease such as a sweater, water, or tea! Come with a sense of curiosity about yourself and your career!

The graduate student’s professional/internship experience can be an invaluable opportunity to explore nuances of power and identity dynamics, competing values of autonomy and structure, etc. In this session, we will share our own experiences as graduate student interns/staff at the University of Michigan, highlighting our explorations of the aforementioned nuances and competing values. With the group we will explore our interactions with graduate student staff and share best practices, reflecting on how to make our work environments inclusive, supportive, challenging, and meaningful for graduate students to be their best selves.
