Faculty Commission Presents: Mindfulness and Enhancing Emotional Resilience: A Case Study

Presenters: Manisha Ranade, Assistant Professor, Santa Fe College (FL); Beatriz Gonzalez, Ph.D., Professor, Santa Fe College (FL); Sheela Vemu, Assistant Professor, Waubonsee Community College (IL); Kusali Gamage, Adjunct Professor, Austin Community College (TX)

During the pandemic, many of us working remotely experienced zoom fatigue, isolation, body aches, and general exhaustion. A group of four STEM faculty members across disciplines and geographical locations got together in late Fall 2020 and decided to tackle this problem with Mindfulness.  They will share how they used Zoom to work together to build a sustainable self-care group that helped them reduce stress, increase their emotional resilience, and improve their health. Their story and strategies will help you enhance your emotional resilience and may inspire you to collaborate with your colleagues to create your own self-care group.
