As a graduate student, you have probably ventured    into some self-help for academic success. On occasion, you might need a “refill”. STAR Services at Lamar    University offers a video resource called 10 Habits of  Mind for College Success. See it at www.studentlingo.com/lamar

This year’s theme is Wellness, and we seek topics related to wellness practices, products, and services from all academic areas. Dr. Cristian Bahrim will host the poster presentations and Dr. Robin Latimer will host the paper presentations. Prizes will be awarded. A keynote speaker from Stable Spirit will speak on “Spiritual Wellness” and the event will include grab bags for the first 50 students who arrive for the opening remarks, a free lunch for all student participants, and LU swag.

The deadline for 300-word abstracts of proposed topics is DECEMBER 18, 2024. We welcome faculty presentations as well on topics of professional interest to graduate students. See https://www.lamar.edu/graduate-studies/students/featured-events.html for all the details
