Rec­og­nize the poten­tial growth and trans­for­ma­tion afford­ed through change and adver­si­ty in the Quest for Resilience.

We often think of resilience as ​“bounc­ing back,” but what if we reframed chal­lenges and set­backs as oppor­tu­ni­ties to ​“bounce for­ward” towards a health­i­er, stronger, and bet­ter self? An inte­gral part of being a stu­dent and a leader, is being able to rec­og­nize the poten­tial trans­for­ma­tion and growth afford­ed through change, stres­sors, and adver­si­ty. When we can effec­tive­ly har­ness the momen­tum dur­ing these chal­leng­ing times, we can bring pos­i­tive trans­for­ma­tion to our­selves and our com­mu­ni­ties. In this 10-hour course, stu­dents will devel­op their resilience and learn strate­gies that will enhance the qual­i­ty and dynam­ics of col­lab­o­ra­tion.
