The Office of Graduate Studies offers classroom (or club) presentations during the academic year to promote exploration of graduate education and inform undergraduates of assistance and resources available to them.

We have prepared presentations on the benefits of grad education and resources available. But we can tailor the presentation to your course or group interests, and we can present for varying lengths (from 5 minutes to the entire period).

Please submit your request and let us know what works for you: https://forms.gle/ND5bfgVeKHd9pY546

Email Rose White at rwhite@csuchico.edu if you have questions.

Caregiver Cafe for Faculty and Staff

WHEN: Friday, December 19th, 12PM-1PM

WHERE: Hybrid session: meets in-person in SSC 150 AND Zoom -- email Carmy Miller at cmiller80@csuchico.edu for Zoom link prior to meeting date.

The most valuable support a family caregiver can receive is from a peer - who has been through what they are going through and can truly understand what it is like to care for a loved one. Family caregiver support groups meet once a month and are facilitated by trained staff. Caregivers learn strategies and skills to solve problems; maintain their own personal, physical and emotional health; and provide the best care they can for those who are dependent upon them. Support Groups provide a supportive atmosphere to share experiences and ideas to ease the stress of caregiving.

Passages Caregiver Resource Center provides support to family caregivers to ease the physical and emotional challenges of caregiving.

*This is a recurring event that occurs monthly from 12PM-1PM. Please check further announcements for day and location of future events.
