Building Community Through Positive Post Lori Sorto, assistant financial manager, College of Business and Dayna Larreau, administrative coordinator, Department of Supply Chain Management & Analytics
Positive Postcards encourage messages of recognition in a light-hearted, branded format. Each month, a themed event around a quirky holiday or creative idea generates a fun environment for individuals to write posts and sustain a culture of inclusion. The promotional events build community within the college and serve as reminders and inspiration for expressing gratitude. We’ve learned that building a culture of recognition needs to be intentional and authentic. Being recognized for the good work we do makes us more productive, positive, and increases our engagement in the community.

Join Valerie Williams, LIMHP from the Employee Assistance Program for an overview of EAP services and discussion on Finding Your Calm. This presentation introduces learners to the practice of mindful awareness as an energizing and easily accessible stress management tool to find their calm in the middle of their busy lifestyles.
