Random Acts of Kindness

Research shows that random acts of kindness not only boosts your physical health but also helps you to maintain a positive outlook on life. We genuinely feel good when we give, help or contribute without expectation or reciprocation of acknowledgment.

Join Marissa as she presents on how a simple, kind gesture can reduce stress, boost our immune system and help reduce negative emotions such as anger anxiety and depression.

Monday- February 11- presentations will be about 15-20 minutes

10 a.m.- Parsons Stulen 106 (Courtyard Conference Room)

12 p.m.-University Center 211

2 p.m.-Great Lakes 101

3 p.m.-Founders Hall 110
