“Behind the Mask”: Decorate a Mask & Disrupt Impostor Syndrome
Goldberg Room
Drop in from 12:45-2:00pm
Lunch provided
“Impostor syndrome” is the fear that our apparent success is just a fluke, and that one day we may be unmasked as a fraud. It is a common phenomenon, and as high achievers, graduate students are particularly susceptible. Everyone else may seem confident, but what we see on the outside may not match how folks are really feeling. In reality, we all wear masks sometimes!
Drop by anytime between 12:45-2:00 to the Goldberg Room to paint your own mask. NO RSVP required. We’ll have lunch while it lasts, as well as a self-reflection activity about impostor syndrome.
