Are you a graduate student looking for a safe space to navigate the ups and downs of your academic, professional, or personal life? Do you have struggles unique to being a graduate student at Rice that you would like to get perspectives from peers who share similar experiences? If so, you’ve come to the right place.
Graduate Wellbeing Peers is a program offered by the GSA where we provide a listening ear, conversations, and companionship, all in confidentiality, to help graduate students who are struggling in any area in life (eg: depression, anxiety, self-care, work-life balance, and etc). Our volunteers are other graduate students who have undergone training offered by the Wellbeing Office.
Whenever you’re ready to take that step, please feel free to fill out the GWP Connection Form (link) and we will match you with a Graduate Wellbeing Peer based on your interests and requests as best as we can. Then, your assigned Peer will reach out to you through your preferred method of contact and you can keep in contact with them throughout the year.
Last but not least, know that you’re not alone and we’re here for you. Please don’t hesitate to contact us at gsawellbeing@rice.edu if you have any questions, concerns, or requests, or are interested in becoming a Graduate wellbeing peer.

Hi, My name is Simon. I'm in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department PhD program and I mainly research heart pumps. I was raised in Houston and I love giving recommendations on places to go, eat, and see to leave campus for a little and make Houston feel more like home. |
