What: "Impostor Panel" and Dinner with GradWomen@CC –Anyone
Welcome!
When: December 10th 4:00-5:30 (we'll start with the panel, so feel free to
leave early if you have to)
Where: GVU Cafe (2nd floor of the TSRB)
Jill Dimond and Lana Yarosh will be moderating a discussion panel with three
successful Georgia Tech women:
Each of these women has achieved impressive milestones in academia.
Yet, sometimes they share a strange feeling -- a fear that others will discover
that they are not really as accomplished as they seem on paper! Have you ever
felt this way? If you have ever felt that your successes are due more to luck
than actual achievement or skill, that you will be discovered to be a
"fraud," or that you're not really cut out for this grad school
thing, you are NOT alone! Inspired from a similar panel at the Grace Hopper
Conference, others have also experienced this phenomenon (known as the "Impostor
Syndrome"). Come have dinner with other women in the college, join in
the discussion, and share strategies for coping with this insidious syndrome!
Please RSVP jpdimond@cc.gatech.edu by Monday 12/8
if you will be joining us for dinner so that we can get enough food for
everybody!
