 Mark Williams, MA '96, was profiled in The Boulder Weekly where he discussed harnessing the power of the brain. Williams shares, "When someone is training, their mind needs to take them to the next level as well as their body. When I go run I’m not just running for the physical, I am also dialing in my concentration level so I am working my mind as well as my body. As you reach your max, your mind wants to check out and not deal with the pain. When you learn the basic meditation point awareness of where your mind is and make that second nature, then I gain the capacity to make [my body] take me where I want to be." Read the full feature.
 Lillian Myers, BFA '12, is working with Performers Without Borders, empowering at-risk youth through performance and art education. You can read more about Myers' work and check out her blog online.
