HEY BOBCATS!
"Learn to surf." "Make a difference in my community." "Help my parents to retire."
Those were among the bucket list items scrawled on a whiteboard by students as part
of one of Jenny Cruickshank's Wellness Coaching classes this past term. The exercise
centered on using written lists to reaffirm and stimulate goals. But it went a step
further—simply sharing those lists, the assistant professor told her class, helps
activate them, pushes them toward the finish line. "That really increases the chances
that those things will occur," she said. "The more you use it, the more you trigger
your mind." Something to consider for that fresh crop of New Year's resolutions. Keep
on scrolling, 'cats!

SEASON OF NONVIOLENCE: "WHITE FRAGILITY"
