Wellness Program

Our well-being impacts our lives in a myriad of ways, so understanding how to best manage ourselves is an important part of our development, both on a personal and a professional level. Join Dr. Rhonda Sutton, Assistant Dean for Professional Development, as well as guest speakers, to explore different aspects of wellness through the online “Wellness Wednesday” series held each fall and spring semester from 12 noon to 1 p.m. every other Wednesday. These seminars focus on the competency of “Effectiveness and Well-Being.” The goal for these sessions is to provide our graduate students and postdoctoral scholars with insights that contribute to a life of living well.
