FOR SMITH STUDENTS

The "Get a Life" Workshop

January 12-16, 2009

In this non-graded, five-day January term course, juniors and seniors began to develop a habit of reflection about their own values and goals. They talked and wrote about themes inherent in making life decisions, including perfectionism, risk-taking, tolerating failure and family narratives of success. The workshop was led by Maureen A. Mahoney, Dean of the College, and Jennifer Walters, Dean of Religious Life.
