Please join the Serie Center for “A Time I Said "No" to a Student.” Requests from students - for advice or assistance or letters of recommendation, to sponsor internships or summer research projects, to grant another extension, etc. - are a regular part of our lives as colleagues. There are times, however, when it’s just not possible to say “yes” to every request that comes your way. How have you navigated the need to say “no” to a student? Can you think of a time when you actually did say “no?” How did it go? What - if anything - might you do differently in the future? What questions or advice do you have for other colleagues who are trying to figure out how to respond to student requests? Please join us for a conversation about when and how to say “no” – and “yes” – in ways that can meet the needs of our students and also be sustainable and supportive of our own wellbeing. All faculty and staff are welcome.  Lunch will be provided.
