Please join us for the Library's upcoming Speaking from the Margins event, in which EKU students that grew up under the administration of a Black United States President share their thoughts on how they are sometimes perceived and how they rise up to be recognized, to be included and to be valued. Students reflect on why Black Lives Matter is more than a tag line and how they show up to reconcile and heal from oppressive situations. Ron Jackson, Director of the Center for Inclusive Excellence and Global Engagement will moderate this panel discussion. To access the Zoom link, please click "More on this Announcement" for registration. This event will also be streamed on EKU Libraries' Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ekulibraries.

Join the EKU Counseling Center staff today for a workshop on Distress Tolerance. When life feels like you’re currently in the middle of an unfinished Jumanji game, your emotions can activate with a high degree of intensity. Changes in your daily routine and the people you’re around can lead to a mixture of emotions. These new experiences can be stressful. The tools provided in this workshop are aimed to provide you with skills to navigate these intense emotions and increase the positive experiences throughout your day.

Experience a guided meditation to help reduce stress, strengthen concentration, and calm the racing mind. No previous meditation experience necessary to participate
