"Find a peer group of women to provide professional support" suggest the authors of Ten simple rules for women principal investigators during a pandemic. Research has shown that women generally benefit from networking and group mentoring. Further, women's stress can be moderated by social supports. Its also not a surprise that short breaks help individuals regroup and look at challenges through a refreshed lens. So, take a BYO snack or meal break on First Mondays (Register for Mondays) at noon, and/or Third Thursdays (Register for Thursdays) at 8am. Sessions are hosted by the ESF Women's Caucus and are open to employees, students, and alumnae.
All sessions are online, with a phone in option, so that folks can participate from on campus (main or satellite) or off. 217 Bray Hall is also reserved during each session for those without a workspace conducive to participation.
You can ask questions or share resources anytime by subscribing to:
· ESFWomen is configured as a discussion forum, but is used most frequently to share event reminders and registration links!
· FamilyResources. Child- and elder-care impact a number of students and employees regardless of gender/gender identity By spinning off those discussions, we hope to make them more accessible to parents and other caregivers who need them (ATM or for the future), unclutter the inboxes of those who don’t, and underscore “balancing work and family” as universal workplace concerns.
REGISTRATION:
1st Mondays, noon-1pm: Register for Mondays
3rd Thursdays, 8am-9am: Register for Thursdays
