Connecting While Apart: Graduate Student Support Group is geared towards students in masters's and doctoral programs.  This group is designed to provide a safe and confidential environment for graduate students to discuss the stress and challenges they are facing being in grad school during the current global pandemic. Members will also gain support for managing loneliness and social isolation, as well as other relational concerns and personal difficulties they may be experiencing. We hope that the group cultivates a sense of safety , trust, and deep and meaningful conversations, and contributes to group members' emotional wellbeing.

UMBC graduate students who are physically in Maryland, are eligible for this group.  Please note that this group requires full commitment to the scheduled meetings (8-9 meetings in total depending on the start date) and anyone who is interested, should contact our co-facilitators directly.

Day and Time: 8~9 Fridays, 3PM-4:30PM, starting in late February or early March
Facilitators: Keyaira Williams, M.S. (She/Her/Hers) & Lily Kaufmann, M.A. (She/her/hers)
