College can be a challenging place. Whether an employee or a student, navigating the ups and downs of work, classes or co-op is often difficult. At times, we can fall short of our intended goals. When things get tough, it’s important to know how to recover, move on, and learn from our experiences.  

This session will provide students, faculty, and professional staff members the opportunity to learn about resilience on the college campus. We will explore how to stay centered through the ups and downs of university life, and we will discuss how falling short can often be a valuable learning experience.

Join us on April 18 as we explore the powerful potential of mindfulness to help us cultivate meaning, purpose and joy in our own lives and in our Drexel University community. Michael Carroll, author of Awake at Work, The Mindful Leader, and other influential books on bringing mindfulness to the workplace, will lead each session.
