Academic life brings great rewards. Along with the rewards come challenges and stressors common to all work environments as well as those unique to an academic setting. It can be helpful to reflect on work problems with the goal of developing new or retooled coping strategies.

Common academic challenges include:
  • Adapting to a new department and a new city
  • Balancing the demands of teaching, research, and home
  • Helping a partner or family transition to a new city
  • Managing administrative tasks and grant writing
  • Managing relationships with colleagues, students, or administrators
  • Pressure for publication and tenure review
If you would like assistance with these or any other issues please call the FSAO for a confidential consultation at 617/353-5381.
