Whether transitioning from an online learning environment to an entirely in-person one or to this new academic year, challenges and opportunities lie ahead. This brings excitement, new hope, anxieties and uncertainty. Some of us have not yet had a ”traditional” university life. So questions like “Am I prepared for what lies ahead?” “ How can I make new friends and adjust to this new normal?” “How can I cope with in-person university life?” may come to mind. If you are wondering how you can best prepare yourself for new challenges, join us as we hear from our panelists who have been part of Open Circle, sharing their journeys about building resilience through adversity. Learn about Open Circle through hearing participants' experiences and through reflective activities on the theme to sample Open Circle’s Reflection Circles and Courses.
“Resilience is seen as more than simple recovery from insult, rather it can be defined as positive growth or adaptation following periods of homeostatic disruption” ~ Laura Campbell-Sills
