How to Manage Your Time as an Overwhelmed Grad Student In-Person
Struggling to stay on top of your academic research, professional development, and personal commitments? This practical workshop is designed specifically for graduate students to help you take control of your time.

- Maintain your short and long-term goals using an Individual Development Plan
- Identify your areas of strength and opportunities for growth when managing your time
- Reflect upon your personal, academic, and professional priorities to create an actionable to-do list and ideal week
