Mindfulness

Mindfulness has often been defined as “paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally” (Kabat-Zinn). The benefits of such practice has shown to benefit peoples’ overall health and mental health and has also shown to be beneficial in performance enhancement.

Student Services has run several groups on mindfulness and mindfulness meditation in the past and intends to do so every semester. For information on mindfulness groups make sure to check the University’s Calendar of Events as well as Student Memos.
