Teaching Excellence Building (TEB) Room 201

Address

924 S. Morgan St., Chicago, IL 60607

Overview

Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we are doing. New TAs can get overwhelmed with life and schedules & self-care can get overlooked. Participants in this workshop will be introduced to mindfulness principles & practices. Tools such as meditation, breathwork, self-care & journaling will be incorporated. Participants will gain skills that can be integrated into daily life and help to destress.

EVENT FORMAT: This workshop is an on-campus, in-person event.

EVENT FACILITATOR: Mandy Vukits, MPH, MS, PhD Candidate, Kinesiology & Nutrition, avukit2@uic.edu
