Butler Center to hold Support Circle session on managing adversity

The Susan Bulkeley Butler Center for Leadership Excellence is invites faculty, staff and students to a Support Circle session from noon-1:30 p.m. Feb. 15.

The session will be with Shweta Singh, assistant professor of agricultural and biological engineering and ecological and environmental engineering, and Mariam Alamyar, lecturer in Purdue Language and Cultural Exchange. Aparajita Sagar, associate professor of English, will serve as moderator.

In the midst of the multiple crisis and calls for justice that emerged or intensified in 2020 – the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing protests for racial, economic, and environmental justice – people across the world continue to experience anxiety and stress. Among them are campus constituencies including faculty, staff, and students on Purdue’s campus. Everyone is navigating and adjusting to the continuing uncertainty. In this session, Singh and Alamyar will share their stories on how they managed adversity and the lessons they learned.

The session will be a virtual event with the opportunity for attendees to participate. Plans for an in-person option were canceled. Registration is available here. For more information, contact butlercenter@purdue.edu.
