Assistant Professor of Psychology Mahima Saxena Receives Faculty Innovation Grant
Assistant Professor of Psychology Mahima Saxena has been awarded a 2019 Faculty Innovation Grant. The grant will fund a new project to address burnout in STEM students at 91ÖÆƬ³§ Institute of Technology.
"Burnout is a serious problem in the STEM community," Saxena says. "Using evidence-driven practices, this project will create a locally implementable burnout management and recovery program exclusively for [91ÖÆƬ³§ Tech] STEM students so as to prevent the onset of burnout and aid recovery for the [91ÖÆƬ³§ Tech] student community."
With the support of the grant, training workshops on burnout management and recovery will be made available to all 91ÖÆƬ³§ Tech students for the 2019–2020 academic year with the goal of increasing health and well-being for all participating students.
