Counseling and Psychiatric Service (CAPS) is offering two new workshops this spring:
Anxiety Toolbox is a 3-part series that focuses on helping you understand anxiety symptoms and build skills to manage these symptoms. The three sessions are divided into content that builds upon itself. The sessions include modules dedicated to:
Understanding anxiety,
Introducing a method for slowing down and disentangling the experience of anxiety, and
Developing alternative responses to anxiety. By the end of the workshop, you will have your own individualized plan for managing anxiety.
Seeking Serenity is informed by dialectical behavior therapy and is designed for students who experience overwhelming emotions that feel difficult to manage. The three sessions are divided into content that builds upon itself. The sessions include modules dedicated to:
Distress tolerance
Emotion regulation, and
Mindfulness. By the end of the workshop, you will have strategies for better managing overwhelming emotions.
Each workshop will run in February, again in March, and again in April. Days and times to be determined. Please contact CAPS (202-687-6985) to enroll.

In an effort to ensure that the Academic Resource Center is reaching ALL of our students, we have expanded our academic resources to include a new academic webinar series!
Don't have the time to make it to an ARC workshop, but still want to make sure you are staying on track with your academics?
Are you looking for new strategies to study effectively?
Need answers to your academic questions?
Each webinar will highlight a different academic theme and allow students to participate in a Q&A session to address any of their academic questions.
It's that time of year when students, or in many cases, parents, start to worry about next steps. Will my son or daughter get a "good" internship? Will they find a job? What will it mean for them to work in politics, or government in such a tense atmosphere? Are they ready?
These are all totally normal things to feel as a parent. And as a fellow parent (though my daughter is still in diapers), I want to share one thing with you: your sons and daughters are an inspiration to me. I left over a decade of consulting and researching federal policy, feeling worn out and jaded. In the four months I've been here, I am amazed at our Hoyas desire to fix injustices and to be men and women for others. It gives me hope for my own daughter's future.
Part of our job at Cawley is to help our students understand how to link their passions and desires to what employers need. As part of Georgetown's value to educate the whole person, we help them to think introspectively about why they want to pursue one given career path over another. We listen to their dreams and concerns, and point them to next steps. We give them the tools to help them both as students, and as young professionals. Above all, we hope to instill in each student the certainty that they each have something wonderful to share with our world - a job, a career, a calling, a talent - that no one else has.
To that end, it is a busy season in hiring and recruiting, especially in government and nonprofit sectors. If your student has a passion for public service, or desires to "give back" in some way, then make sure they know about a couple of upcoming activities:
Hoyas on the Hill - Cosponsored by the Office of Federal Relations, this event features a panel of alums who will speak about their experiences working on the hill.
Employer Information Sessions: Peace Corps, FEDSIM, and more underway.
"Why do we spend our lives striving to be something that we would never want to be, if only we knew what we wanted? Why do we waste our time doing things which, if we only stopped to think about them, are just the opposite of what we were made for?" -- Thomas Merton
