Discover Your Skills
Doctoral studies can feel isolating as if you're alone on an island, and as a result, it can feel like a humongous task to navigate interpersonal conflicts and build relationships. The OYF workshops helped me break down these concepts and provided strategies so that now I am able to de-escalate conflict and maintain meaningful relationships with my peers, supervisors, and thesis committee."
