Join us over lunch during the Week of Wellbeing for a talk by Jamil Zaki, professor of psychology at Stanford University and director of the Stanford Social Neuroscience Lab.

Zaki and his colleagues study social connection, what that connection does for us, and how people can learn to connect more effectively.  Jamil has published over 100 peer-reviewed articles and received more than two dozen awards from scientific associations and universities.  

 

The Week of Wellbeing starts our semester off with a host of opportunities for students, faculty, and staff to return to campus and  relax, connect, and recharge. Highlights include Chapel Unplugged, a peaceful evening of acoustic music and mindfulness, and the enchanting Pondfire by the campus pond.  You're also invited to participate in a transformative retreat with renowned yoga teacher Rolf Gates, alongside other engaging events designed to nurture mind, body, and spirit. The Week of Wellbeing is a cross-campus collaboration, involving the Okanagan Wellbeing Collective, the Office of Equity and Inclusion, Student Affairs and Campus Life, and many others.
