Looking for tips and strategies for staying physically and mentally healthy in an exciting (and sometimes stressful) new college environment? If so, consider taking the First Year Seminar course titled Healthy Body and Mind led by Dr. Kelly Smith, Assistant Professor of Human Services. In this course, you’ll focus on the positive habits that promote a healthy body and mind as you transition to college life.
"Transitioning to college can be a very stressful time," said Smith. "I am very excited to help students learn healthy, positive ways they can navigate their new world. Students will be exposed to a number of tools they can use during their time in college and beyond. During the experience, students will hear from guest speakers, take a field trip, and participate in both on- and off-campus events. I want students to feel capable of managing challenges while feeling supported by, and connected to, their campus community."
Interested in understanding how to become more resilient and bounce back in the face of adversity? This course, taught by Dr. Milissa Volino, Director of Nurse Education and Associate Professor of Nurse Education, looks at the personality traits and behaviors that help people face challenges and pick themselves back up whenever they falter. These same individuals often possess a mental toughness that enables them to see past a failure, gain a new perspective, and move forward. In this course, you’ll explore the concepts of resilience and mental toughness through a diverse selection of books, articles, film clips, and hands-on activities. The focus of this course will be to learn how these resilience attributes can be developed for personal growth.
“Throughout life we experience challenges, often seen as failures, and many times it is our perception of these events in our lives that dictate the personal outcomes,” said Volino. “College is a time of transition and requires resilience and perseverance for student success. With this course, I hope to help students identify ways to grow from life challenges and bounce back from adversity!”
