Mind Yourself

 

Shut Up and Study - August kick off

Except, we aren’t interacting per se, we are just studying/working in the presence of each other.  With the increased reliance on online study and more of our student body located away from the main campuses, I wanted to create study sessions that any student (and staff members for that matter) can join in on, feel like they are part of something bigger.  Read More

 

Dealing with Disappointment

Disappointments are inevitable, and how we cope with them is often a defining moment in our lives. We can learn to respond healthily to a disappointment by adopting a coping style that seeks to understand, checks expectations, revaluates perception, and seeks positive solutions. Although disappointment is inevitable, being discouraged is a choice.

 

Reading Zone

 

Interaction Ritual: Essays on Face-To-Face Behavior by Erving Goffman. Originally published in 1967, Routledge created a new edition of this book in 2017. This book has survived well through time. The concept of "face-work" remains strong, exploring how interactions are opportunities to improve social standing.
