In graduate school, coursework is more research oriented, there are more papers to write, and more creative projects and presentations are required. A much more independent level work is expected and there is less feedback to students from their professors. Effective time management is critical to this being a successful educational experience. The desire to maintain good grades, the requirement to maintain a B average, and financial pressures put graduate students under a lot of stress. To help graduate students cope, the Counseling Center offers an ongoing growth group for graduate students.
Members can discuss academic, interpersonal, family and other concerns.
Members can gain self-understanding about their interactions with others within and outside the group. Interested students need to meet with a counselor to assess if the group is the best medium for their development. Almost one quarter of college women have been raped or sexually assaulted. If you are one of those women, this group may be for you. It is for women who have experienced rape or sexual assault at any time and recognize that this experience is continuing to affect their lives.
