Have you ever thought to yourself: "I have no idea why my department picked me. I did not deserve to be accepted to the program." Many graduate students are impacted by imposter syndrome, or the feeling that they do not belong and that they do not deserve to be where they are and that they will be exposed as an "imposter" or "fraud." There are also difficulties in internalizing professional accomplishments and believing that the success was due to luck or good timing. This workshop will help attendees combat imposter syndrome. You do belong and you are not a fraud.
