Thriving Not Just Surviving in STEM

April 3, 2024 | 2 to 4 p.m. | Exploratory Hall 3301  

Ever feel overwhelmed by the expectations and demands of the STEM fields? Are you thriving? Or just surviving? We all struggle at times with being stuck in “survival mode.” But we should all be working towards thriving and maintaining a balance between career ambitions and wellness. At this event, faculty, staff, and students in our Mason community will share what they have learned about setting boundaries, creating balance, and finding joy in their careers. Join us for great conversation, fun activities, and refreshments.

Women in STEM, leaders.
