Do you feel like your advisor serves as a professional mentor, or do you respond to them more like a parent? Is your advisor someone you think of as a friend, or do you try to avoid them unless you have to interact? Has your relationship with your advisor or other research supervisors affected your work, thinking, and perhaps even your progress in graduate school?
In this Graduate Appreciation Week session, we will speak frankly (but confidentially) about navigating relationships with your advisor and other mentors. We'll discuss ways to creatively re-think and manage your responses, as well as daily practices that can help improve your interactions and relationships.
