Course Description

Instructor: Elizabeth Deschenes

We are in tough, uncertain times. Maybe things were challenging for you before this pandemic, maybe they were not. Regardless, this 4-week mini-course will remind you that coming out on top is a lot like the making of a diamond. In order for diamonds to be made they are put under pressure, extreme heat and then finally cut- that is why they are so valuable. Join us. Learn the principles of resiliency, evaluate your own strengths devise your own plan to flourish in the face of adversity. Lastly, learn why antifragility is one step better than resilience. Students will have the opportunity to participate in voluntary resilience and thriving research.
