Dr. Yaneer Bar-Yam, president of New England Complex Systems Institute and leader of endcoronavirus.org, a volunteer coalition formed to develop solutions to eliminate COVID-19, Zoomed with Irving Steel’s BU321: Human Resource Management class at Mitchell College recently.
After the class, student Christina Corbeil commented: “In Dr. Bar-Yam’s words, ‘no one person can change what society does, but we can all work together to solve the pandemic.’ That means that it is our job to follow the guidelines and if we do that it can lower the rate of COVID-19 cases…wear a mask…stay 6 feet apart, wash hands, and sanitize when going out in public.”
Words of wisdom, all around!

About this Webinar
Because of the pandemic, many people are at home or in their dorms, not moving as much, and many times, eating whatever is easy or handy. More attention is needed to keep your mind clear and focused, and your body healthy!
Father/daughter duo, Tim Grills and Megan Ressler, will teach you about mindfulness to help you notice your body and your habits and illustrate how you can adjust your eating—and cooking—to be more healthful.
Tim will demonstrate how to prepare healthy and comforting food, including soup, whether you’re using the microwave in your dorm or the crockpot in your house or apartment. Megan will teach several practices to help you center your mind and body, and even enhance your living space.
Join us as we share skills and support each other as a community!
