CETLcollaborates with various units and Faculty Association to facilitate workshops on topics of interest to SCSU faculty, staff, and administrators. We try to have workshops in a series focused on various themes. One series is our PDP/PDR Workshop series to assist faculty with the planning and reporting of their professional development plans for evaluation, promotion and tenure. Other series are focused on themes based upon campus-wide needs.
Spring 2012 Theme: Health, Wellness, and Well-Being.
Please go to Workshop Series for further details.

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction brings together mindfulness meditation and yoga. MBSR is a training with potential benefits for all types of participants. MBSR practice is ideal for cultivating greater awareness of the unity of mind and body, as well as of the ways the unconscious thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can undermine, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. The mind is known to be a factor in stress and stress-related disorders, and meditation has been shown to positively affect a range of autonomic physiological processes, such as lowering blood pressure and reducing overall arousal and emotional reactivity. In addition to mindfulness practices, MBSR uses martial arts to help reverse the prevalence of disuse atrophy from our culture’s largely sedentary lifestyle, especially for those with pain and chronic illnesses. The program brings meditation and yoga together so that the virtues of both can be experienced simultaneously.
