Do you ever feel like a fraud? Like you don't belong at Harvard? Are you sure that the admissions or search committee made a mistake? You're not alone! Learn to cope with these thoughts at Overcoming Imposter Syndrome: A Workshop with Dr. Valerie Young. RSVP here. Impostor Syndrome can make it hard for you to believe in your own success, convincing you that you're a fraud that 'got lucky'. Feelings like this are incredibly common amongst high-achievers at all stages. This workshop with Dr. Young, a leading expert on this issue, will show you ways to combat these impostor thoughts and help you become more confident in your placement here at Harvard and overall success in grad school and beyond. Whether you are feeling this way or you are interested in thinking about how to address this in your current or future classrooms, we hope you will take advantage of this event. The workshop will be followed by a reception in Maxwell Dworkin 119. Presented by: Harvard Graduate Women in Science and Engineering and Minority Biomedical Scientists of Harvard.
