Tuesday, February 27
11:00 am - 1:00 pm

Do you chalk your accomplishments as a fluke or “no big deal?” Do you think, “If I can do it, anyone can?” Do you feel like you’re just fooling your professors? If so, join the club! Millions of people around the world—from executives to graduate students and their professors to Academy Award winners—secretly worry they’re not as bright and capable as other people “think” they are. It’s called the Impostor Syndrome and there is a cure. Join us for an interactive presentation led by speaker and author, Dr. Valerie Young.
