Session 1 (4-5PM): Imposter Syndrome HS700
Have you ever felt like you do not belong at university? Do you doubt your abilities and think that you are not smart enough? Do you ever feel like you don’t deserve to be here? These feelings are common among graduate students and especially among students who may be first in the family, racialized, mature students, gender non-conforming or from a group that is not represented widely on campus and are often referred to as “imposter syndrome”. Impostor syndrome is like an “open secret” – even though many people experience it, we very rarely talk to each other about our feelings as we fear being judged. In this workshop, we will discuss some of the common ways that impostor syndrome can manifest in an academic environment, how it can impact your learning and strategies that can be used to strengthen self-awareness and lessen the impact of these feelings.
