Congratulations on finishing the Fall 2023 quarter!
As we wrap up another challenging year, our team has meet with graduate students and postdocs, sharing space with many of you who are grappling with burnout, stress,
and more. In the midst of the demands of your work and all going on in the world,
we hope you can take a moment of pause to be proud of yourself and all
you have accomplished.
We know how easy it is to get caught up in to the sense of urgency and the notions of perfectionism that often exist in academic spaces, with many of us buying
into the pressure to be productive at all times. However, resting and
investing in your well-being with the same fervor that you do your
research and teaching is essential for not only your personal growth,
but also your professional success.
We encourage you to take a break this holiday season to focus on yourself
and to refill your cup. Whether it is spending time with loved ones, pursuing
hobbies, or simply enjoying a day of relaxation, give yourself
the gift of rejuvenation this holiday season.
We are wishing you the very best as we approach 2024.
May this Winter Break be a time of rest and renewal.
The entire CIRTL@UCLA team is looking forward
to reconnecting in the new year!
Warmly,
Ginny Sklar Muscatello, PhD
Fall 2023, CIRTL@UCLA Program Manager
