Graduate students face a number of challenges as they work toward their degrees, but none can be more overwhelming than those associated with mental health. Because of this impact on the graduate student experience, GSAS partnered with Harvard University Health Services to conduct mental health surveys in a variety of programs. Thanks to excellent response rates, we’ve learned a great deal about the scope of mental health problems throughout our student body.

Be a Part of Her Training
Victoria Hwang, a fifth-year PhD candidate in applied physics, took to the Harvard Horizons stage to explain why blue jays look blue. Sounds simple, but her research on structural colors in nature is incredibly complex. Luckily, she knows how to break it down for a broad audience.
“The Horizons program gave me the communications skills essential to building a successful career,” says Victoria. “I am so grateful for the personalized mentoring and training from faculty.”
