Lend A Helping Hand

Image result for lend a helping handAs we head into the final month of the semester it is important to remember that as graduate students, we are all in this together.  Whether you are in the MBA program (like me), the Master of Social Work program, or even the Doctor of Physical Therapy program we are all striving to earn our degree.  A degree that represents an opportunity to better our lives and the lives of our families through education.  It does not matter if you just started the program or you are walking in May, we all need to look out for each other.  If you see a friend struggling to think of an idea for their research paper, help them brainstorm.  If you see someone in your class studying for a the final you both have in a couple weeks, offer to study together.  Even if you just see someone who looks like they have pulled an all-nighter to finish a project, offer some words of encouragement or buy them a coffee.  The Grad Lounge is a great place to link up with your fellow grad students to work together or even plan an activity to get a much needed break.  As a grad student you are never alone because we are all in this together so it’s time we start lending a helping hand.

A great song that embodies this sentiment is "Lean on Me" by Bill Withers. Take a listen below!
