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!
Let's crochet and stay! Join House Director Kathryn in the Hook Nook (i.e. Gutmann Living Room) every Wednesday before Mix & Mingle to work on your project, learn a new craft, or just to hang out. Every skill level is welcome! Yarn and hooks will be available.
Gutmann Mid-week Mix & Mingle is a weekly event that allows students a chance to be in community with each other through exploration of different interests and ideas.
Friday Night Writes is a tutoring initiative to support K-12 writers in Philadelphia schools.
Gutmann community kitchens are a space to gather for cooking and shared memories.
The Gutmann team of RAs, faculty, and staff work hard to establish a strong community and encourage residents to participate in activities that help us get to know each other, share our experiences, and grow individually and as a house. We encourage our residents to explore who they are through social activities and connection with each other. Together, we hope to shape our house into a vibrant home-away-from-home.
