PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: 9th Annual Advisor Week – Tuesday’s Events “Self-Care Day” and don’t forget to RSVP!
Advisor Week continues tomorrow, Tuesday, and we're looking forward to our self-care focused day!
"Self-Care" is one of the most important things that we can do for ourselves. Today's focus is relaxation, self-care and just simply - fun! We have an open room where we will be enjoying time together - taking a bit of time to do some things that rejuvenate us. Now we know that self care takes many forms and we're also able to make breakout rooms for other activities as our visitors would like....
We also want to highlight that our partners at NASP will be hosting an activity at 12:00 p.m. - Whose Land Are You On? Native History, Contemporary Issues, and Land Acknowledgements - we've included the registration link for that event below.
And we hope that you can join us for our Zoom pub crawl....we're so excited to be hosting a number of "bars" for you to visit during our Pub Crawl - Simone's, Lalo's, and perhaps you'll also see some of our favorites Ambassador Pub, Green St. Local, Little Joe's and others you may want to visit....
You can review the rest of the events of the week at our Advisor Week Schedule and please RSVP at https://go.uic.edu/advisorweekrsvp

This is something we've been thinking about for awhile, and with self care on our minds, we all just sometimes need a break, so....we're making a Zoom room designed for doing it! OAD staff and volunteers will be hosting an open come in, come out as you please Zoom room for the day. Think Hoda Kotbe's TODAY Show "Morning Boost" for the entire DAY where the one pre-requisite to join us is that you either must enjoy watching cute, uplifting, funny videos - there may be a strong preference for fuzzy animal videos (cats, dogs, etc.) and want to watch them periodically, or you have in hand and will share with others your favorite "boost" videos! It's open-ended and free form, and we just might have specific themed breakout rooms given the interest in this activity....
RSVP: Even though it's a drop-in event, RSVP for the Zoom Room link
