Dr. Jodi McGill (Assistant Dean of Research and Graduate Students at Iowa State University's College of Veterinary Medicine) joined us to discuss what we learned in our last grad faculty book club. We read the book "Wellbeing at Work" by Jim Clifton and Jim Harter, which is from Gallup and CliftonStrengths-based. The book focuses on 5 pillars of wellbeing, a topic we've been very interested in lately.
Some takeaways from this episode:

• Faculty need to thrive themselves before they can help students thrive
• Encouraging grad students to be comfortable enough to share their struggles
• Everyone is different, and there are aspects that support wellbeing that may look different between students
• How important it is to model work/life balance and the value we as faculty place on wellbeing
