Thinking structurally now, mentorship also means taking on more of the structural challenges that PhD students face.

This means supporting their rights as workers. It means doing your part to create a safe work environment. It means a living wage and funding for research.

Doing research. Being in schools. Observing Black kids. Dance. Sing. Cheer. Chuckle. Shake. Wiggle. It just does not get old. As many problems as they face, our work cannot forget that they are ALIVE and figuring it out, navigating conditions as they find them. Today was a gift.

Take that lunch break. Take that PTO. Take off on your birthday or because it’s 85 degrees on a Friday. Take that vacation. Take sabbatical. Start that business. Take that parental leave. Leave early for happy hour. Because in the end your employer will “go on as planned.”

Come be my colleague! We're hiring TWO professors in the UIUC Counseling Psychology division.
