Actioning Hope in Turbulent Times
Student Well-Being Summit
We are living in a time characterized by great shifts in political, social, legal, economic, technological and environmental systems. These changes often lead to uncertainty and volatility and, under certain conditions, hopelessness.
Our task is to remain hopeful and find ways of transforming hope from just a wish into concrete action.
How can we develop and nurture hope in ourselves and in one another?
What is the role of the educator in creating situations where hope can flourish?
What’s the latest on happiness as it relates to student well-being and hope?
With the support of the University of California Office of the President, we are pleased to bring together UCI students, faculty and staff from across campus for this one-day event — Actioning Hope in Turbulent Times — to explore these topics and engage in well-being activities.
