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.
