Submitted by Toni Kwong on December 5, 2018 - 9:23am

Do you know any students who are interested in growing their professional skills? Maybe they have struggled academically, professionally, or personally? Or they are just interested in personal growth and living their best life here at UW and beyond?

As students come in to plan for winter quarter registration, remember to recommend EDUC 200 Resilience Skills for College and Beyond.

The class will be particularly helpful for first year and/or transfer students to get started out with tips and tools to make the most out of their time at UW! It is also great for seniors as they prepare to graduate and enter the workforce!

In EDUC 200, students learn skills to enhance their wellbeing in college and in their life in general. Particular focus is paid to skills that help students withstand common difficulties in life, like a disagreement with a loved one, tolerating doing work you don't want to do, and managing negative emotions in a healthy way. Skills will include but will not be limited to mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. Students will also learn about research underlying stress, resilience, and related skill areas.

This 5 credit class meets for lectures on Wednesday late afternoons with a one hour lab section on Fridays for small group activities. The class also provides I&S credits. See the attached flyer for additional information and as a tool to share with students.

EDUC 200 Resilience Skills for College and Beyond allows students to work towards their best life while earning credit!
