We’re back at it for our third year! GGW is challenging all grad girls to walk or run at least 30 miles in 30 days. This is an opportunity to kick of the school year with your physical fitness in mind. Sponsors and prizes to be announced. The in person walk will take place Saturday, September 16 in Philadelphia, so stay tuned for more details! Sign up here using Nike Run Club!
Last year, we logged 706 miles. Can we top that this year????
Calling all Grad Girls attending the American Educational Research Association Conference in Chicago. Let’s socialize and get our steps in together during a Wellness Walk along the Chicago Riverwalk.

We will be meeting at the intersection of E. Wacker Drive and N. Columbus Drive to walk along the Chicago Riverwalk. This will be a great way to destress from the conference and to meet other attendees. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday morning! 😊

Did you start the semester off with a bang but have since lost steam? Do you need to reset your wellness routine before midterms?
If so, join us for the “Wellness Reset” which is a free, mid-semester virtual retreat designed to provide students with a space for reflection and rejuvenation in the midst of the school year. Each session will offer participants an opportunity to ground themselves in their “why” as they approach the final stretch of the semester.
🧘🏾♀️Gentle yoga with @lululemon Ambassador @jennwith2ns_yogi will emphasize how movement can be a tool for emotional, physical, and mental wellness.
📓Journaling will hold space for intentional reflection and goal setting through writing.
🤓Finally, our intergenerational academic panel with @jennwith2ns_yogi (postdoc/professor), @drnishauntbattle (associate professor) and Vanessa Palomino @safespacewithvane (current graduate student) will focus on what it means to ‘reset’ at different points in one’s academic journey.
Participants will leave the event feeling inspired and ready to take on the rest of the semester. They will also receive a “Wellness Workbook” containing tips and resources on how to prioritize their wellness as a graduate student.
