Dear College of Education Staff and Faculty,
Next Monday we begin week four of our COE self-care program, and new staff and faculty have been joining each week. Did you know that all of our self-care activity leaders are volunteering their time for FREE once a week all semester because they believe in the importance of us taking care of ourselves at work? Please thank them if you get a chance! Also, if you have any feedback or suggestions about our self-care activities so far, please email me and I'll pass this on. As much as is possible, we want the classes to meet your needs. Here are next week's highlights below. Also look for the easel in our lobby announcing each day's activities.
Sending good self-care vibes to you all,
Shari
