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!
