Co-hosted with Dr.
Greenberger, Department of Physical
Therapy
When: Monday, November 12, 12:00-1:00pm
Dr. Greenberger will present methods she uses to help physical therapy students develop skills in effective listening. Through a combination of class discussions, small group work, and role-playing, students gain communication skills that can be used with patients and in personal relationships. The selected topics course she offers teaches students how to recognize and censor automatic, habitual, non-listening responses, and create a culture of trust and respect between individuals.
Mindfulness and Environmental Sentinals
Co-hosted with Tim Drake, Department of
Environmental Studies
When: Monday, December 3,
12:00-1:00pm
Tim Drake will describe activities and routines that he uses in his Environmental Sentinals class to foster awareness and mindfulness of the present moment. Students begin simply by becoming aware of them selves, body, breathe and noticing what ever is already present within. He then guides them to shift the focus to the external world around and to experience the environment with all senses.
