Spring 2024 Diversity Workshops and Events
This workshop will focus on how to begin changing the way you think about body size. Body positivity means being able to accept the body you (and others) have as well as accepting changes that happen as a result of nature, injury, age, or personal choices. It is the understanding that your worth is about who you are as a person, not what your body looks like.

Time: 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Facilitator: Jeanne Burkhart, Ph.D., Staff Psychologist

The experience of being Asian in America varies tremendously. But some commonalities can play an important role in shaping patterns of well-being within our APIDA community. Shared cultural values and experiences, family and community connections, and the practice of rich and varied cultural traditions can be invaluable sources of strength and support. However, the shared experience of confronting stereotypes, intergenerational tension, identity concerns, and racism can also present significant challenges. This monthly virtual workshop is aimed at providing a safe and supportive space where APIDA students can come together to share our stories and gain strength through community.
