ENTLIGHTENING A DARK CORNER
Leaders show way on mental health
Toronto Star, Oct. 28, by JIM COYLE
|
|
|
Think about it. What two questions do
people commonly ask each other during that feeling-out waltz
in the moments after introduction?
What do you do? Where do you live?
The answers - jobs and addresses - say
loads about us. They suggest income level, education, certainly
our social status. They give clues to tastes, our self-image,
whether we're seekers of security or adventure.

We're planning an event
that can accommodate 1200 GBC students and staff. To date,
over 20 faculty members have each agreed to bring 25 of their
students to the event and to build this into their fall curriculum
so that students integrate the experience into their learning
program. We are looking for 15 more professors who are willing
to bring 25 of your students to this exciting event and to
make it part of your fall curriculum.
