Join us for ‘Building Resilience’ session on Friday

Monday, October 18th, 2021

Failure is part of life, but it isn’t the end of the story. We all fail in various ways, whether earning a disappointing grade, missing a due date, having a relationship break up (or break down), or any of 100 other failings.

You, your classmates, professors, coaches – even President Baker – have all failed many times; it’s part of life. But the only true failure is ending the story before it’s over.

Join us this Friday, Oct. 22, from 11 to 11:50 a.m. in Bauman Auditorium for “We All Fall Down: Building Resilience.” This session will offer tips for getting back up and advancing toward your goals.

Contact Rick Muthiah (rmuthiah@georgefox.edu) with any questions.
