Event Date
The Cal Aggie Alumni Association is kicking off its Life After Graduation Series with an engaging virtual session, “Thriving in Transition,” on Wednesday, May 13 at 1 p.m. (Pacific Time).
The transition from college to post-graduate life can bring both opportunity and uncertainty. Without the structure of academic life, many graduates face new pressures related to job searching, career decisions, and navigating change.
This session introduces the concept of mental fitness – the capacity to respond to challenges with clarity, resilience, and intention. Through practical, accessible techniques, participants will learn how to manage stress, regulate emotions, and strengthen focus during this period of transition. Attendees will leave with tools they can apply immediately to support their wellbeing and sustain momentum as they move into their next chapter.
