lili powell to lead meditation on the lawn

MONDAY, OCTOBER 26
7:50-7:55am (ET)
Free and open to the public. Registration required.

Together with our partners across Grounds, CSC is pleased to invite you to attend our ongoing series Virtual Meditation on the Lawn hosted live every Monday, 7:50am–7:55am ET. 

Each week a different member of the UVA community leads these five-minute sessions designed to help UVA faculty, staff, students, parents, and friends cultivate mindfulness, compassion, resilience, and a sense of belonging together. 

Coming up on October 26, our host will be Lili Powell, Associate Professor at the Darden School of Business and Kluge Endowed Chair at the School of Nursing. 

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to take its toll on the well-being of all members of the UVA community, it is even more crucial that we find regular moments of peace, reflection, and contemplative connection with each other.

Please contact us if you have any questions about this event or if you would like CSC’s assistance in organizing small group guided meditations.

Special thanks to the co-sponsors of this event: Compassionate Care Initiative, Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS), FEAP, Hoos Well, Student Affairs, and UVA Clubs.

fellowship empowers student-athletes

During the 2020 spring semester, CSC and UVA Athletics joined forces to launch a new annual leadership program for student-athletes called the Citizen Leaders and Sports Ethics Community Impact Fellowship.

The program offers UVA student-athletes an opportunity to develop the kind of personal and professional skills they’ll need to flourish in their lives after UVA. At the same time it empowers them to address the unique issues facing fellow student-athletes, particularly the strain of balancing competitive sports pressures with academic responsibilities and social and emotional well-being.
