Being a Black-Identified graduate student can be a unique experience. Sometimes you may feel a great sense of accomplishment while also feeling completely burnt out. You may feel a pressure to always be “on,” but long to find a way to reclaim your time and redirect your energy. Other times it might feel like you are struggling to maintain your academic workload but you are eager to learn new strategies to help you stay on track. You might also find that although you are satisfied in your relationships outside of school, you feel isolated within your program and often question your sense of belonging. You don’t have to navigate this journey or wrestle with these dilemmas alone.

The Black-Identified Graduate Student Academic Support Group is a restorative and empowering space designed for students to show up as their full selves. This group provides opportunities to build community and gain support by exploring challenges and celebrating successes. Through sharing and processing thoughts and feelings, giving and receiving feedback, and learning new tools and strategies for self-care and academic wellness, this group offers Black-identified graduate students a space to be seen, honored, held, and elevated.

Congratulations! You’re the first in your family to go to graduate school. And yet…
Navigating graduate school as a first-gen student can be complex. This group offers an affirming space for you to build community, support each other, and share your feelings about this unique experience. Themes may include: managing the impostor syndrome and self-doubt; learning and perhaps challenging the unwritten rules of academia; juggling financial stress and work-life balance; feeling misunderstood by family, professors, or peers; identifying strengths associated with being a first-gen student and translating them into action and empowerment. Space is limited and individual screening required to determine goodness of fit—please send in your request soon.

If you are interested in joining a group, please complete our Request for Services form(https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gc.cuny.edu%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2F2022-08%2FRFS_and_Consents_2022.pdf&data=05%7C01%7Clwaltzer%40gc.cuny.edu%7C3ff8eff9d288448b7dca08db14eebf09%7C6f60f0b35f064e099715989dba8cc7d8%7C0%7C0%7C638126788414302470%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=rqMEY4SkAxbjegQLEzE%2Fo37x8vf3GO49CC9GjxZzx0M%3D&reserved=0) (also attached) and email it to wellness@gc.cuny.edu<mailto:wellness@gc.cuny.edu> or submit via our Virtual Drop-Off Service(https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fintranet.gc.cuny.edu%2Fadmin_depts%2Fwellnss%2Fwcvds%2FSitePages%2FHome.aspx&data=05%7C01%7Clwaltzer%40gc.cuny.edu%7C3ff8eff9d288448b7dca08db14eebf09%7C6f60f0b35f064e099715989dba8cc7d8%7C0%7C0%7C638126788414302470%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=CTwADCmR%2FnCRMys%2FzQsgC5U3CL44BVhRothGyv2RAQs%3D&reserved=0) (please include a jpg picture of your student I.D.)
