The day included presentations on self care by RRC Nursing graduate Jennifer Thomas and clinical psychologist Dr. Jason Ediger. 

The presentations were followed by a panel discussion looking at different perspectives of self care.  RRC Nursing instructor Cheryl Adam shared her own personal journey, art therapist Darci Adam spoke of the therapeutic benefits of the arts, and Cole Skinner from RRC athletics introduced different recreational services available to faculty. 

The afternoon included World Café group activities where everyone joined different tables to brainstorm topics such as rest, leisure, exercise, and nutrition. 

Pat Gregory finished up the day with a presentation on CV writing.

**A Shout Out to all who helped and organized these two great days! Great Job!!**
