You and Your Supervisor

Graduate students report issues with supervisors as one of the greatest contributors to their stress. This session will focus on exploring and identifying the needs that you have from supervision; the emotions that you feel when you interact with your supervisor; and some of the dynamics in your relationship with your supervisor. Armed with this understanding, we will explore the room you have to make a difference in this relationship. Topics will include expectations; boundaries; assertive communication; and when and how to ask for outside help in resolving problems.
