| In the News... | | | | Stress & The International Traveler: Restoring Calm & Resilience | | Workshop & International Tea Ceremony | | November 16, 2009 | | Noon to 1:30 p.m. |
As part of International Education Week, this workshop and international tea ceremony will be presented in the Campus Center Hearthside Lounge (Room 2313).
Studying abroad can be a once-in-a-lifetime experience and an exciting one. The realities of daily living in an unfamiliar place, far from family and familiarity can be stressful. Stress can manifest as difficulty concentrating or sleeping, depression, nervousness, irritation, stomach or headaches, tight neck, back and shoulders, restlessness, and more. In this 60-minute presentation, you'll learn some easy ways to help feel settled, calm, and ready to make the most of your international experience. An international tea sampling will follow during the Q&A session.
