Study Groups

Grad school can feel competitive, isolating, and socially awkward ... and the work can also fuel a range of feelings and levels of imposter syndrome. But, we're aiming to facilitate some alternative experiences. One way is through social events and another is through study groups/workspaces. Please find some listed below. If you want to organize you're own group–perhaps focused on a particular theme or task – we're happy to advertise it here and help you with finding space!
