Penn GSE Calendar

Recent mass shootings in Buffalo, NY, and Uvalde, TX, occur on top of ongoing and daily shootings in Philadelphia, and create a range of feelings and reactions in all of us. In this conversation, we invite GSE and SP2 staff and faculty to share their reactions and concerns with a panel of expert counselors. We'll talk about strategies for identifying and managing our own emotions, and talking with children of different ages in developmentally appropriate ways. We'll also share resources and ideas for taking constructive action and building community to counter our sense of helplessness and isolation in the face of loss.

In this challenging and counter-intuitive video, Self-Discipline Strategist and New York Times bestselling author of Rory Vaden, shows you why you can't solve today's time-management challenges with yesterday's time-management strategies. More importantly he explains why procrastinating on purpose is the key to being able to multiply your time.

Celebrate 10 years of Be in the Know with our June Monthly Wellness Walk, sponsored by Human Resources and led by the Center for Public Health Initiative team! The CPHI will lead you on a two-mile walk on/near campus to help you increase physical activity and steps, plus build community with participating Penn staff and faculty. Be sure to wear sneakers or comfortable shoes, bring water, and invite a colleague to join the celebration.
