Session Block I

The Pursuit of Happiness Building H, Room 308A Karol Martinez, Director of Student Activities, MICA

What makes people happy? What is the relationship between stress and happiness? What is the relationship between success and happiness? Join me in this interactive session to discuss these questions and what the research says. In addition, the session will allow participants to dialogue with colleagues about simple practices for generating daily happy experiences.

What the Heck Are They Thinking? Why Are We Giving Them Multiple Chances? Building H, Room 308B Crissy Fabiszak, Assistant Director for Student Life, CCBC Toni Aho, Assistant Director of Student Life, CCBC

Uniquely Me, Universally Us Building H, Room H-308C Chianti Blackmon, Director of the Center for Student Diversity, Mount Saint Mary’s University

This workshop is aimed at expanding your understanding of "diversity" and it's various dimensions and your personal identity The goal is for participants to better understand how their worldview shapes their interactions with students as well as offer insight to some of the challenges our students from underrepresented populations face and how we can best serve them.

Social Media: What's In It For Me? Building H, Room 331 Fred Bartlett Jr., Instructor, CCBC

Facebook and twitter are often associated with younger generations and shameless self-promoters but it is so much more. In today’s fast paced and ever changing market place, you need to be able to know what your customers and competition is saying about you, your company and your products. Information is key and getting into the conversation is the first step.
