Discussion on Resiliency – May 6th!

fail forward

The greatest learning happens when you push yourself to the edge of what you are capable of doing. On that edge, you will experience setbacks, struggles, and failures – all of which provide an opportunity for growth. Come learn how to take risks, face challenges in and out of the classroom, and ultimately – fail forward.

In collaboration with Stanford University’s Resilience Project, Undergraduate Academic Affairs is hosting two days of sessions focused on nurturing growth mindsets and resilient behaviors. Join us May 6 and 7 – just in time before your push towards finals!
