The University Of Utah: Mindfulness Center Fall 2021 Programming

Press release from The University of Utah - Announcements:

August 19, 2021

The Mindfulness Center provided programming for campus and encourages paying attention to what is happening during each moment of your life.  With mindfulness, we develop the ability to let go of worries and fears about the future, let go of concerns about the past, and experience the present moment with a sense of calm and curiosity. In a basic way, mindfulness gives us the ability to wake up to our life and stop the automatic way of living, which disconnects us from our body, mind, and relationships.

The following programs are open to all students, faculty and staff of the University of Utah community are free, available by Zoom (excluding holidays and breaks) and require registration to attend. Informational flyers are provided via embedded links in each of the programs’ titles. We also offer a paid undergraduate internship, the Change Coalition, focused on building a more compassionate, resilient, and just campus community. Please share with your colleagues and students and JOIN US!

Additionally, Luana Nan (she/her) has been announced as the interim coordinator of the Mindfulness Center, Luana Nan. Nan is a psychologist at the University Counseling Center and a U alumna. Originally from Romania, Nan immigrated to the U.S. with her family 25 years ago. Shortly after immigrating she earned a B.S. in Psychology from the U, and a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana. During her training, Nan found her calling in serving college students, a path that could express her passion for supporting education, individual authenticity and growth, social justice, diversity, and inclusion. She is excited to be more extensively involved with the Mindfulness Center, and to support its mission, which so much aligns with her passions.

The Mindfulness Center also offers programs including providing mindfulness workshops for offices upon request so request a presentation that may be relevant to your colleagues, staff, and/or team members today.
