Final Faculty Navigate Training

There is one more Navigate system training Faculty can attend. (Four have already taken place.) With Navigate now being our premier Student Success Management System (replacing Sunstone), we want to make sure that all Faculty are familiar with its functions, features, and how it will support student success at Lawrence. During each training, faculty can expect to hear about Navigate and:

  • The alert referral process and submitting alerts for at-risk students and
  • Completing progress reports and ad-hoc reports
  • Accessing assigned advisees and students who are enrolled in your courses
  • Using email campaigns to nudge groups of students to complete an action
  • Forthcoming Navigate features like calendar syncing and the risk prediction model (Predictive Model) and much more!

Please feel free to direct any questions or concerns about Navigate or the trainings to Lewisash@lawrence.edu.  

We look forward to seeing you there!

Yoga: Cultural History, CommUnity, and Practice with Rina Deshpande

If you missed the event from Saturday, Nov. 5- Yoga: Cultural History, CommUnity, & Practice with Rina Deshpande, we’ve got you covered! You can view the recording using the link here: Yoga Recording

0:00-11:25 “Breathe and Yoga Culture & History”
11:25-28:28 “Short Physical Yoga Practice & Resources”

In today’s modern world, Yoga is often misinterpreted and misrepresented, or appropriated, to be useful for “building a better self.” But like many indigenous traditions, the ancient practice of Yoga is more than a physical workout rather it is about recognizing your value and the miracle of being you, right now, in this moment, just as you are. Yoga is about connection with one another, our natural resources including animals, and Universe, as it is about connecting with our own selves.

Rina Deshpande is an educator, author, and illustrator. Raised with yoga as an Indian American, Rina completed her ERYT-500 yoga certification and earned a masters in neuroscience and education at Harvard, where she designed yoga and mindfulness research curriculum. Rina currently authors and illustrates a monthly Yoga Journal magazine column on the culture and science of Yoga and is a faculty member. For free yoga resources and illustrated poetry follow Rina at @rinathepoet on Instagram, rinadeshpande.com, and rinathepoet.com.
