Description

Interested in finding simple yet impactful ways to weave wellness into your professional and personal life?  If so, please join faculty and staff colleagues for Wellness Wednesdays.  Each session offers information, resources, and/or immersion into different wellness modalities that are supported at UMBC.

We all have a story to tell, but sometimes we just need to be coached and given the tools to tell it! Well, your time is now! Join us for this Wellness Wednesday session focused on how to tell your story. We will discuss thought-provoking prompts to help you begin the process of expressing your individual life experiences. We will then provide resources of different mediums for you to use to tell your story.

The session will start with an open dialogue and end with an interactive activity. So please have on hand markers, crayons, or colored pencils, and at least two sheets of white printer paper (8.5 x 11, at least one side needs to be blank). That's all you will need! The goal is to begin the process of exploration where you will intentionally choose one of the mediums to dig deeper into during the months ahead. From the session, you will not have a finished product, but a starting point to more creative ways of sharing your story.  

Led by: Michael Hunt, Program Director McNair Scholars Program & Corey Carter, Assistant Director, Sherman Scholars Program
