Doctoral students are encouraged to develop sustainable working habits early in their doctoral study and are encouraged to consult their advisers, their ADGS, or the DGS if they are finding sustainability difficult (for example, if an adviser expects working hours that eat into students’ capacity to take care of their mental or physical health or that eats too far into their family/social life). Sustainable and consistent working habits, with breaks timed around the academic calendar or other appropriate markers of accomplishment (the completion of qualifying exams, for example), are vital for student health and success and the department is committed to student wellbeing in this regard.
