Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing measures, graduate students are facing extremely challenging times. This situation does not affect everyone equally. Some of us are isolated without family, far away from home with no support system. Some of us are facing a disconnect from our social and cultural groups. The pandemic has been especially tough for international and racialized students.

If balancing grad school and the isolation, anxiousness, frustration, sadness, or disconnect of social distancing is weighing on you, join the SOGS Virtual Support Group for Racialized and International Graduate Students (via Zoom) to re-connect, support, and motivate each other. Everyone is welcome! The group will meet twice per week on Tuesdays from 1-2pm and Thursdays from 12-1pm.

If you are interested in joining, please provide your email address below and indicate which weekly session is best for your schedule. Feel free to join both sessions each week.

We're stronger together.
