LIFE LIFE Hello Life University Staff: I hope you are having a great Summer Quarter. It’s almost time for the changing of the seasons once again, when summer turns into fall. We will say goodbye to pool days, the hot weather, summer vacations, etc. Back again will be the crisp fall air, wearing cozy sweaters, Halloween parties and the leaves changing into beautiful colors. Personally, I prefer spring and summer, but fall isn’t half bad—until I have to break out that heavy jacket! In this issue of the Staff Newsletter, we have included local happenings, which are events taking place around Atlanta, starting now and throughout the fall. We really enjoy putting the list of events together and hope that they are helpful when you’re planning weekend fun. This issue is filled with interesting and informative articles. Get to know fellow staff member Beverly Okonkwoh in this quarter’s Staff Spotlight. Find out ways to lead a minimalist lifestyle in the Life-Steps to Wellness article focusing on how to live more with less. If you need a quick stretch break at work or home, we’ve got you covered with our Chair Yoga article, which includes how to do certain chair stretches complete with pictures and detailed instructions. Shelia Wood’s article, called The Perch, describes her relaxation place, her beautiful backyard. Try our summer recipes, a pasta salad and 7-layer salad, which are both delicious. Have you ever wanted to help a student in distress but didn’t know what resources were available to them? Learn how you can make a difference by reading the article called “SLP for SOS.” Do you ever see Safe Space posters on employee’s offices across campus and wonder what that’s all about? You can learn about LIFE’s Safe Space program in this issue. I hope you enjoy this issue and have a wonderful rest of your quarter.
