Done Dissertation invites you to join a panel discussion on the impact of mental health on the dissertation writing process. The panel will consist of mental health experts who will share their insights and experiences on navigating the challenges of the dissertation process while balancing life and mental health.
We believe this will be a valuable opportunity for students, faculty, and staff to learn more about this important topic and to gain a better understanding of how to support one another during the dissertation writing process.
The panel will be held virtually on Feb 16, 2023 from 8pm - 9pm ET.
