Alumni Career Connect

Sept. 17 | 12 to 1 p.m., MT | Online (Zoom) 

Everybody deals with stress, and you’ve surely heard the term “burnout” before. But how are the two connected? What’s the difference between them? And, perhaps most importantly, how will knowing about stress and burnout help you improve your overall wellness? 

Join UCalgary alum Lorelei Lachambre, MC’05, for an interactive online session where you can ask questions and engage in meaningful conversation to improve your personal well-being. Through self-assessment, you’ll be able to identify burnout signs and symptoms and learn strategies to improve your self-awareness and overall health.
