What does Jorge
talk about in his lecture? Find out below!
|
 |
Click
here for a sample clip of Jorge's lecture at Caltech,
in which he talks about the four types of e-mails he receives
from readers (quicktime
required). |
|
A
recent survey by U.C. Berkeley found that 95% of all graduate
students feel overwhelmed, and over 67% have felt seriously
depressed at some point in their careers. In this talk, Jorge
Cham recounts his experiences bringing humor into the lives
of stressed out academics, examines the source of their anxieties
and explores the guilt, the myth, and the power of procrastination.
|
|
“Jorge
Cham's talk was humorous and helpful. His cartoon strip has
been a giant plus in helping graduate students acknowledge
and cope with the stress they experience."
- Isaac Colbert, Dean of Graduate Students, M.I.T.
"I've never heard so many graduate students
*really* laughing at the same time!"
-Jory Zmuda Ruscio, Chair,
Graduate Life Center's Speaker Series, Virginia Tech
"The message of the presentation really resonated with our
students. The graduate school journey can be extremely isolating,
and Jorge Cham's presentation and comics normalize the experience
and provide solace and humor.“
-John Nonnamaker, Graduate Student Career Development,
M.I.T. |
