The Women in Cognitive Science Canada + Trainee Board will be presenting at our September 30th Colloquium.
Imposter syndrome, burnout, and rejection are experiences almost everyone in higher education faces, yet very few of us feel empowered to talk about them openly. Hosted by the Women in Cognitive Science Canada + Trainee Board, this workshop offers practical strategies and a supportive space to help you:
• Reframe Imposter Syndrome & Burnout: Recognize the signs and build habits for well-being.
• Normalize Rejection: Shift how you view setbacks and build resilience.
• Change Your Mindset: Reclaim your space and confidence in post-secondary academia.
Join us for a session focused on thriving, not just surviving, in academia.
Diya, Marie, Sarah, and Leah are graduate students from the University of Ottawa and Carleton, and members of the WiCSC+ Trainee Board. Having navigated academia, from grant rejections to criticism to academic burnout, they bring their practical strategies and firsthand experiences to help students reframe their mindsets and thrive in higher education.
Reminder: All graduate students in cognitive science are expected to attend colloquia.
