Zoom Link Here Password: Mask

Join FSAD students, Jenny Leigh Du Puis, Katarina Goodge, Yvonne Schichtel and Hanna Norris to learn about their mask design projects.

This kick-start workshop is good fit for anyone who is interested in mindfulness or meditation but maybe too apprehensive, too busy or perhaps too skeptical to try. Ruth from Cornell Wellness will offer practice in different kinds of mindfulness to show you how you can fold it into your routine for better focus, relief of symptoms of worry/anxiety and a slowing of the noisy mind. During this pandemic, if you are looking for tools to bring a little sliver of peace to any moment of your day, then this is the workshop for you. Join the workshop every Tuesday at 9 am (beginning 9/29).

July 20th at 9:30 am & July 23rd at 3:00 pm

CHEER Mission Statement
College of Human Ecology Employee Rejuvenation  

CHEER exists to support the physical, social and psychological well-being of staff working in the College of Human Ecology by:

• coordinating and sponsoring events that advance our lives through education, entertainment, and social connection
• promoting and celebrating the diversity that each individual brings to the CHE community
• encouraging staff to reflect on and engage in the mission of the College
• liaise regarding work environment issues that could be improved to the benefit of all
   

CHEER shall consist of non-academic staff members with at least a representative from each of the following departments or organized groups: Administration (including Admissions, Student and Career Services, and Registrar), Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research, Cooperative Extension, Design & Environmental Analysis,  Division of Nutritional Sciences, Fiber Science & Apparel Design, Human Development, and Policy Analysis & Management. 

Each member will serve a two-year term (based on the fiscal year – July through June) and may not serve two consecutive terms.  One-half of the initial members were selected at random to serve only a one-year term in order to establish a turnover of one-half of the committee members on an annual basis.  If a member resigns from the committee, the member’s home department will select someone to complete the remaining term.  The “replacement” member is eligible to serve on the committee for the next full two-year term.   

A member of the Human Resources team will function as the Chair of this group.  

Time Commitment:   CHEER will hold monthly meetings for approximately one hour each.  Additional time may be needed from members at various times throughout the year to help coordinate events or work on special projects.  This additional time should rotate among members, so that one or two members are not bearing the bulk of the time.   

Note: All time spent at meetings and working with this committee requires the approval of the employee’s supervisor.

Send us an email with your ideas for CHEER events, comments on past events, or anything else you would like us to know, or you would like to know from us --- The CHEER Team
