Incorporating just 10 minutes of healthy activity into your day can add up to a significant difference in your health, wellbeing and quality of life. With that in mind, Human Resources’ A Healthier U Program is encouraging you to participate in our daily “Ten at 10” wellness program for faculty and professional staff. During this era of social distancing, it’s more important than ever that we find ways to maintain meaningful connections to our colleagues. This program addresses that need and also encourages life-sustaining activities that will promote physical and emotional wellbeing.

Supervisors and department heads are encouraged to set a recurring Outlook invite from 10-10:10 a.m., Monday through Friday, and invite their colleagues to participate. Include a link to this website, then check back Monday through Friday to complete the scheduled activity of the day. For larger departments, you might consider organizing activities into groups of 3-10.

If 10 a.m. is a not an ideal time for you or your department, please feel free to tweak the time to meet your needs. We encourage you to participate sometime before lunch if possible, to help you set the tone for your day.

Wednesdays are "Water-Cooler Wednesdays." Visit the Ten at 10 Website to connect with resources that can help you take advantage of a simple but powerful body-mind reset. Please visit our website and click on "Water-Cooler Wednesdays" to learn more.

Shakespeare Read-Aloud (12/23/2020 - 12/24/2020)

Wed, 23 Dec 2020 21:00:00 GMT

Start Date:	12/23/2020	Start Time:	4:00 PM
End Date:	12/24/2020	End Time:	5:00 PM

The Pennoni Honors College would like to invite you to another Shakespeare Read-Aloud for all interested students, staff, faculty, parents, and friends of the Pennoni Honors College. We will be reading and dissecting Merchant of Venice.

The limits of law come into play when a merchant seeks money to woo an heiress but defaults on a loan from a Jewish moneylender, who then demands a pound of the merchant’s flesh, according to his contract. The play addresses issues of justice, compassion, and empathy. It is of its time and profoundly contemporary in representing the damage that discrimination can do to those on society’s margins.

The reading will resume each Wednesday, from 4-5 p.m. live on Zoom. The reading will be led by Pennoni Honors College Dean Paula Marantz Cohen, author of the forthcoming Of Human Kindness: What Shakespeare Teaches Us About Empathy (Yale UP).

Our aim is to have attendees engage with this great play in whatever capacity they choose. You can come to read or just to listen. There will be no pressure, no judgment, no grades — just the chance to commune together over a great work of literature and provide a little laughter in our present moment.

Wednesdays, starting December 23
4-5 p.m.
