Needed to hear this one today!
To all PhD Students, you're almost certainly doing a lot better than you think you are. You just don't see it because you're constantly focusing on what's next and not seeing what you've already achieved. #PhDVoice @PostdocVoice

After 5 years of grad school, I finally learned that "lemme finish this one thing and then I'll eat" is an incredibly ineffective approach to work 🤦‍♀️#eatlunch #phdlife #gradschool

Immensely proud of my BESTIE for all her hard work over the years! @Aashnacat has already made such a meaningful impact on the counseling psych world and will continue to do so for years to come. And I CANNOT WAIT to keep cheering her on through it all! #PHinisheD #HotDocSummer

Reading a student's final paper as he describes the confidence he gained in my course helped him to speak up in a technical engineering class that he previously felt "not smart enough" in and to suggest setting goals with his senior design group #gushing 🥰🥰

Huge congratulations to the grad workers at UMN!
IT'S THE POST YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR: UMN GRADUATE WORKERS HAVE A UNION! We won 2487 yes votes to 70 no- that's 97% in favor of a union! The hard work of countless graduate workers pays off!

Today was my last day of teaching as a graduate student 🎉 In class, students shared that their biggest takeaways from the course were gaining an openness to new perspectives, an appreciation of self-reflection, and self-confidence. My students are so rad! #phdlife #proudmom

Happy #PurdueDayofGiving! Purdue has already raised over $10 million dollars today, but Purdue only paid me $21,000 to teach, research, and provide therapy to the community last year. If anyone would like to direct their donations to me instead of @PurdueSports here’s my Venmo

Livening up the Board of Trustees meeting this morning! Consider signing the Living Wage Petition to show your support for ALL Purdue workers.
Today the Living Wage Coalition – @PurdueGrads @GreaterLafDSA @AAUP @YDSAPurdue – delivered our petition to the Board of Trustees. It was a great turnout for this important step in the life of this campaign. We eagerly await the response from the board @LifeAtPurdue .

So excited to have been recognized for my research on #InternationalFriendship! Shoutout to my friends who remind me everyday how valuable and meaningful these relationships are 💛💛
Congratulations to Krista Robbins, a 5th year PhD student in Counseling Psychology (Dept. of Educational Studies) for receiving the Dean’s Dissertation Scholarship! Her research areas include international psychology, international friendship, and psychotherapy outcomes. 👏
