Collin College will continue its Dignity Initiative Series with an event on Thursday, Oct. 22. The event is free and open to the public.

Leveling Up: Finding Yourself in College and in Life
3-4:30 p.m., Oct. 22
Plano Campus, L250
 
In this interactive workshop, participants will learn why it can be difficult to move into the college student identity and how they can make that new identity reflect who they really are or want to be.

Collin College Professor of English as a Second Language Jennifer Bello will begin the event by talking about the process of identity formation. Participants will then go to different stations to practice managing time, dealing with finances, studying effectively, figuring out next life steps, discovering what they value, handling stress and difficult emotions, and relating to others, all while maintaining a sense of dignity and having respect for others. A Collin College counselor will be on hand to assist. This event is co-sponsored by the Collin Mindfulness Committee.
