Imposter syndrome, or feeling like a fraud, can affect professionals at all stages of their careers. However, graduate students and early career professionals may be especially vulnerable to this syndrome.

She will provide information about how to use social media and online technologies to overcome many of the common struggles faced by students and early career professionals such as: isolation and feeling disconnected, amotivation and procrastination, and lack of mentorship.
