COLLEGE HOUSE EVENTS
Snack & Chat: Occupational Wellness
Come join HD Amber for a quick de-stress event to discuss how you are managing school/club/research to achieve a sense of personal satisfaction. Trail mix and dried fruit will be this month's snack.
2nd Floor RA Office Hours with Beril and Radhika
Join us for Molly Tea and Community Chats social on October 5th at 7pm! We will meet at the 2nd floor lounge at 7pm and walk together to Molly Tea, where we can enjoy some tea and chat about how our week is going. Office hours are a great opportunity to meet your neighbors, connect with the Du Bois community, and chat with your RAs.
Study Break at Haraz Coffee House
A study break at a local coffee shop where residents can grab a drink, relax, and ease back into the semester after fall break.
Productivity Hour
Do you need to kick start your semester with good habits? Want to start your week out right by planning your week ahead? Join faculty director Amy Stornaiuolo for a productivity hour across Mondays in September and October. We will be talking through the book Atomic Habits -- Amy will recap the highlights and offer concrete planning strategies she has been using for decades (you can borrow a copy from the House Office or the Penn Library if you want to read along but do not feel obligated). You can drop in and spend any part of the hour with us - there will be handouts/materials to take with you. First 20 min will be info sharing about the book (key ideas and a focal practice), second 20 minutes will be individual planning time, and last 20 minutes will be snacks/discussion and informal chatting about productivity and goal setting. Here is a link to the website about the book, with a video and top 10 insights from the author. We will do a second book study/productivity hour at the beginning of the spring semester (suggestions welcome for that book!). Hope you can join us!
