• SSC Club: This is a club to encourage peer-to-peer conversations around navigating academic life. It provides a supportive space where students and early career researchers across labs from all stages, share their personal stories of difficulties and triumphs, and help each other with ideas, perspective and advice. 
     
  • Mentoring Program: While every student receives academic guidance from their PhD advisor, we recognize the value of additional mentorship. Our program supports students seeking advice on broader aspects of graduate life, including career planning and interpersonal challenges. SSC members and other faculty mentors are available to listen, offer perspective, and help students work through difficult periods or decisions.
     
  • Workshops: We host workshops on self-care, stress management, advisor-advisee dynamics, and interpersonal relationships—critical areas that support personal well-being and healthy academic progress.
