Learn how to bring more happiness to your personal and professional life. Research supports that happy people feel better, do better, and live better. While this is great news, it still begs the question, “Why?” And more importantly, “How?”
During this available-on-demand Canopy webinar, we will explore the history and research behind this concept of happiness, how it relates to the various facets of your life, and what intentional activities you can do to increase your life satisfaction and fulfillment.
Join a Canopy webinar, “Mental Health Awareness and Holistic Wellness,” from 10 to 10:30 a.m. this Wednesday, May 3. Topics discussed include stigma reduction, signs and symptoms, and community resources. You can register here.

At the end of every school year, many students have good, reusable items that they don’t want to take home. These items often include clothing, blankets, kitchen supplies, small appliances, room decorations, small furniture, etc.
In an effort to keep the dumpsters from overflowing and to be better stewards of resources, Phase 2 was initiated. We are happy to receive reusable items that students do not want to take home, from today through Sunday, April 30. The gathered items will be donated to different organizations in the local area.
Collection barrels will only be placed in dorm lobbies across campus. There will also be a drop-off location at Plant Services (#59 on the campus map) during normal business hours, in or near the receiving bay located to the left of the main entrance. Look for and use these barrels as you prepare to leave the campus. Please place donated items in bags inside the barrels.
We do not accept:
There will also be a few extra-large dumpsters for trash located on campus. By law, computers, monitors, and TVs cannot go into the trash. They can be placed beside the barrels; please note if they are broken.
