My research area in the biological sciences department has a simple end-of-semester ceremony that helps us to share our successes, writes Ilinca Ciubotariu.
Ilinca Ciubotariu’s department’s annual ceremony provides ice cream to all attendees as they share things to celebrate.A few weeks ago, the annual ‘Things to Celebrate’ event took place at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana — a time to reconnect with undergraduate and graduate students, research assistants, postdoctoral fellows and faculty members. Clutching free ice cream, everyone at the event shared some of their accomplishments over the past year.
As Minchella, who is still a faculty member in the department and still attends the gatherings, wrote in this year’s invitation, “Too often the stress of academia can become the focus for students and faculty.” For me, this hour was more than a session to chat with colleagues and eat ice cream. It prompted me to take a breath, review my accomplishments, appreciate the targets that I had reached, offer fresh perspectives and refuel to find motivation and inspiration to finish ongoing projects.
