This workshop welcomes all levels of yoga participants - newcomers and yogis alike - to help increase harmony, health, and wellness. Hosted by Student Life, we welcome yoga instructor, Kelsey Delane, for an hour of yoga. Take a break from your studies to center yourself, physically and mentally, from your home or another quiet place.

College Disrupted – A Pandemic Gap Year Could Cost You $90k
What do you like to put off? Work? Chores? How about college? Because of the pandemic, more and more college-aged kids decided to delay starting their freshman year. There are a lot of reasons for this; some would say that in-person learning, surrounded by like-minded peers in the pursuit of…education? Partying? Both?… is an integral part of the college experience.
Others might say that there’s no substitution for that once-in-a-lifetime feeling of arriving on campus, meeting new friends as a newly minted first year, making those pseudo-Harry Potter dreams come true. But what are the costs of delaying matriculation by a year? Turns out it’s about $90,000 in lifetime earnings, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
