Professional Development Days: Setting and Maintaining Healthy Boundaries

Professional Development (PD) Days are offered as part of a suite of programming supporting career management and professional development for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. The sessions will help you recognize your talents, pursue your interests, learn professional skills and make interdisciplinary connections that will help you excel in your chosen field.

As graduate students and postdoctoral scholars, you have many pressures on your shoulders, including research, studies, work, and family. We all have our limits, but we don't always recognize or communicate them effectively. In this one hour workshop, you will learn about the purpose of boundaries, and why recognizing them is vital. You will also learn how to use clear and assertive communication while setting and enforcing your personal limits. Greater awareness of your personal, academic and professional boundaries may help you as you navigate your current academic program, as well as employment environments beyond your fellowships and graduation.

Presenter: Jasmine Bajwa, PhD, R. Psych Satellite Psychologist, Faculty of Engineering
