PART 3: Identifying and Overcoming Imposter Syndrome Workshop

Students are invited to attend the Identifying and Overcoming Imposter Syndrome session on Wednesday, November 10^th from 11am-Noon presented by the Holden Center for Leadership and Community Engagement. This workshop discusses what imposter feelings are and how they show up in our day-to-day lives. Participants will take a quick assessment to learn about their unique “imposter type” to better understand when and how they experience imposter feelings and how they impact us. Next, we will discuss the interconnectedness of identities, environment, and imposterism. Lastly, participants will also engage in discussion to create strategies that allow them to overcome their imposter feelings.
