The spring Discover U is scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 15, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Memorial Union Great Plains Ballroom. All NDSU staff are invited and encouraged to attend the staff development workshop organized by NDSU’s Staff Senate.

This is the second of two half-day Discover U events offered this year in an effort to provide opportunities for more staff to participate without being away from their work for an entire day.

The Feb. 15 program, “Desire to Grow from Head to Soul,” will be presented by Chris Linnares, author of several books and newspaper articles on health and empowerment, including the award-winning book and social project, “Beautiful Women of North Dakota.” Linnares encourages body-mind-soul connection by combining positive emotions with movement to energize and empower one’s life. There will be minimal movement so comfortable clothing is suggested.

Registration forms also have been sent to all staff. The deadline to register is Monday, Feb. 13. Staff can register via the hard copy registration form or online at http://tinyurl.com/8ysq3s6. The cost is $20, which includes coffee and tea in the morning and a lunch with a pasta bar, salad and cookies.
