  • Feb 27 - We Got This! Strategies for Improving Ourselves, Our Communities, Our World

    • Presenter: Paul Wesselmann
      Tuesday, February 27, 2024 | 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.

       Let’s face it: we’ve had a rough few years. Living through the Time of Covid, ongoing struggles around civility and civil rights, the very future of civilization. We are individually and collectively struggling. WE NEED HELP! Here’s the truth: WE GOT THIS! Paul will share a resilience model that has helped thousands of people reach OUT to more effectively connect with others and reach IN to more consistently show up with their best available selves in work, school, and life.

    • Presenter: Paul Wesselmann
      Thursday, April 2, 2024 | 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.

      There is no doubt that our society is increasingly polarized, in part because there are some really important issues that have divided the country along seemingly intractable fault lines. THERE IS REASON FOR HOPE: It turns out that we don't have to agree on things to get along a little better, and we don't have to hate each other even when we disagree passionately. Join us as we explore a handful of research-backed strategies that are being employed around the country to help people from differing backgrounds and beliefs come together with civility and curiosity to listen and learn.

      Paul holds degrees in psychology and higher education, is the author of two books, and has spoken on hundreds of campuses around North America. His February "We Got This" peptalk was extremely well-received, and we're excited to have him help us explore this difficult and important topic.
